Re: Call To End Right To Buy.
My story is a little bit different but, in principle, where there are council housing shortages, I agree with most of what's been said.Re: Call To End Right To Buy.
I think as a general rule it should be buy or rent a home first and then have your children but sadly it is all too often the other way round and then people expect the council to house them - why ?? You didn't have to have those kids, it was your choice so get on with it thats what I say. The current system is grossly unfair to those who either don't want children at all or prefer to wait until they are in a better financial position. Do the wrong thing and you get help, do the right thing you don't and thats what makes it unacceptable. At the other end of the scale its wrong as well. When my parents had to sell their house to go into an old peoples home they had to pay £800 a week but in the same home there were those that didn't have assets so they got exactly the same care and didn't pay a penny. So you have kids you can't afford, get a council house for life and then get given care when you are elderly for free as well. People who try and do the right thing are penalised and thats why the whole system is pants !Re: Call To End Right To Buy.
Re: Call To End Right To Buy.
Is there not an Exchange List in your Local Council Offices Dollie? There must be lots of Couples in a Two Bedroom with a Family that need more room you could Change with. You have the Upper Hand with the 3 Bedroom Home and if you Advertised on the List I'm sure you'd get a lot of Response.......then you could chose what you thought would be the best Area for Youself. Don't even have to stay in the same Town, maybe move out a bit........Just a Thought.Re: Call To End Right To Buy.
no i dont have an upper hand roxy it is far from easy trying to downsize.....there is a system in place re housing and you have to go through that..ive been on the exchange list for nearly three years ive also advertised on several sites to no avail... as i said previously i do not want to move into a block of flats that have young families and kids and thats what its like in this area there is nothing in this area to move into....i wont go outside the area as im central to everything here...Re: Call To End Right To Buy.
