The Press, in Yorkshire, have run an article on the Council trying to make a profit from selling new homes, rather than dealing tenants needs.

It concludes:-

“York council is more pre-occupied with footstreets, cycle paths, closing roads to cars, and touting their green climate change credentials than in doing their proper job of providing enough decent council houses for rent.”

Whilst it deals with York, the sam could be said for many Councils.  See the article here.
