If labour get in what do you intend to do about social housing? - M M - 12-19-2012 06:22 PM
The homeless situation is worst than it was after the second world war. My grandchildren cannot get social housing because there is a five year waiting list. Its ridicules that they have to bid on a computer every week for a roof over there heads. Not every one can afford to buy.

Just because you are not provided with social housing does not mean you are homeless. There are plenty of private rentals and house shares available.

When labour came to power in 1997, they inherited the Tories mis-management of social housing, a staggering £20billion of neglect and repair, along with that they also had to try to rectify the problems thatcher caused with 'right too buy', probably the biggest catastrophe to occur in social housing for the 50 years. Labour have bought 1.5million homes for social housing, though this is still not enough, and there is a desperate shortage of larger houses. The new government needs to stop selling social housing, and maybe help people on lower earnings getting onto the property market in other ways.

Personally, nothing. Perhaps you ought to ask a politician rather than on here.
