saxon51 Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 The council have to house these 'dregs' like you say, and where else can they put them but on a council estate. The council cant assess each household on the estate to see whether the existing tenants are 'dregs' and therefore unlikely to be too bothered by the new additions to their neighbourhood. If you are given or have bought a house on these estates you know full well that you cant control who your neighhbours are. Essentially thats why the houses are cheap in comparison to non-council estates. Buy a house in Whirlow and rest assured the council will house nobody next door to you - but you'll have to pay for the benefit. And there lies the problem. Once they are found to be 'unsuitable' tenants they should be kicked out and blacklisted by that council. They should not be offered another house within that same council's boundaries ... unless it is an already defaced high-rise flat, somewhere unwanted by the decents folk. There must be hundreds of people wanting houses with gardens and just as many undeserving scum occupying - and ruining - these houses. Get them out, stick them in a ghetto where they belong so they can nick off each other, and let the decent tenants have the estates back. Council housing belongs to the council tax payer doesn't it? If so, maybe the council tax payer should have a little more say about who lives in 'their' houses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S8 Blade Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 Low Edges.. another example of an estate that in its beginnings, was desirable and not easy to move onto.. then the council began using it as a sink estate! . Lowedges certainly isn't the estate it was when it was built in the 1950s... but then again, I've lived here 23 years and I'd happily stay here. I went to primary school here, I use the shops here. Yes it has it's imperfections, but then again 0 where doesn't? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
