Simple question if I may. Do you think the Daily Mail's headline (and if you want this thread title) fairly represent the actual underlying story? The old couple say they felt the council was trying to force them from the property,forcing and bullying are not unrelated and you still don’t get the DM headline is a side issue it was the intention of the council that was being questioned. The headline in the newspaper is the key issue here for me. They are sensationalising and deliberately creating a false impression. Fairsociety for example fell for it. What has happened here is that the council is following government advice to review properties in its area that appear to be unoccupied and seek to bring them back into use. They identified this house as such an unoccupied (which it probably was at the time the council employee surveyed the street) and sent a letter to the property seeking to work with the owner to bring it back into use. Meanwhile this couple had moved in and wanted to live in their home. When they made the council aware of that, the council said OK of course that is fine. The Daily Mail has deliberately mislead its readers. I think that is pretty outrageous. |

I question the article claim they paid 200.000 for a house that was marked to be demolished . 200.000 ' 300.000 for 2 bed room house in Northamptonshire. In General a house in such Condition fetch around 40.000 -70,000 mark Probably because it wasn’t earmarked for demolition and if you go on rightmove there are no properties for sale in Rushden at that price. On the Move for a terraced house £149,995 Reduced < 7 days 2 bedroom terraced house for sale Cromwell Road, Rushden NN10 Rightmove Trafford Road, Rushden, Northamptonshire, NN10 0JF Guide Price £140,000 Monthly mortgage payments Added on 29/01/2024 The County Property Auction, Lincoln PROPERTY TYPE Terraced BEDROOMS 3 BATHROOMS 1 SIZE Trafford Road, Rushden, Northamptonshire, NN10 0JF Guide Price £140,000 Monthly mortgage payments Added on 29/01/2024 The County Property Auction, Lincoln PROPERTY TYPE Terraced BEDROOMS 3 BATHROOMS 1 SIZE Rushden Road, Wymington, Rushden £165,000 Monthly mortgage payments Reduced on 02/11/2023 Prime Choice Ltd, Rushden PROPERTY TYPE Terraced BEDROOMS 3 BATHROOMS 1 SIZE Ask agent £210,000 See how much I could borrow 3 bed terraced house for sale Pytchley Road, Rushden NN10 3 beds 1 bath 1 reception No mate five different houses for sale Terraced houses for sale all under £220.000. 3 on rightmove and some are 3 bedroom houses.

So that would be a no then, you agree that FS did post that thread title that doesn't match the DM article The thread title matches up perfectly with the DM headline, maybe not word perfect, but most of us can relate to my thread title and the DM headline, and most of us are struggling to understand why you can't make the connection?
This is a serious question, are you losing your marbles?
So finally you admit you did not copy and paste it. Are you still deluding yourself that a one off error equals some multi council wide general policy? |

I don't think the DM did as such, it was a bit selective I suppose and they do unfortunately have some very dim readers that will add 2 and 2 and make 22. On the wider issue of prioritising those who get housing then they are forced by rules of this government to prioritise those most in need. Personally I'd give irregular migrants the options of a tent on a guarded disused airfield, a free journey to their country of origin or a communal Nissan hut on South Georgia. But until Rishi and what passes for his team get real then the councils are forced to go the route they do. |

Housing records are way behind in being updated. When I was doing the British Crime Survey not only were there empty properties (about one in thirty) but some listed had been demolished!

Yep as I posted earlier, the Land Registry has been starved of funds by Rishi and co and are way behind on their records. Still those tax cuts for his rich friends are his priority so daft cuts is what we see so often |

Everyone on this forum can see I never once said I copy and paste the DM Headline, you just completely made that up.
I took the Headline and the letter and made my own Thread title, stop your lying, you lie and lie until you almost believe your own lies, when everyone else can see you are lying ..... Idiot.
