then collect several years worth of Housing benefit and haggle over the price of a compulsory purchase.

I see a pattern forming here, first they trash an area in Manchester and they all move into the Hudson St area and do the same. The area gets so bad that the council has to do something and buy up the properties from landlords who have paid buttons for the houses. Of course the scum tennants have to be re-housed
The same is now happening in the Avenue Parade area of Accrington, street fights, drug pushers and unexplained house fires all forcing the price of the housing down. The same landlords that owned houses in Hudson St are now trying to buy up homes in Graham Jones Peel Ward for very low offers and then moving in more of these scum. I'm so angry that this is allowed to happen time and time again.
