Councils Seize Private Homes

Stooping to an all time low... councils are playing some sort of estate agent game with abusive powers by seizing houses of the sick and elderly.

The authority to snatch empty properties and rent them out using Empty Dwelling Management Orders has been passed to Town halls.

The councils can legally take over a property if it has not been occupied for 6 months.

My view.. Yet another abuse of council power in modern UK society. How can such a power be issued and which set of morons issued it?

Private homes should be just that. PRIVATE.

Council housing is a shambles in current Council control. Why should the Council be allowed to take over homes 'owned' and 'paid' for.

The councils should focus on 'council' housing issues and deal with the bad tenants who don't deserve a property in the first instance.
