The council can't just chuck people out of the homes they OWN and not pay them a penny. That's little short of robbery. What happened to "compulsory purchase" where the owner was given what was deemed to be the market value of the property? Mind you they never really did get the full market value but the council can't just take their homes and give them nothing! Can that be legal?
perhaps mr dobson is a distant relative of DICK TURPIN.
