It did say nationally that they have to build more council homes.

Up here property and rent is a lot cheaper. Down in London where I lived 5 years ago I was paying £750 monthly for a 1 bed flat.
To buy a terrace it would have cost £140,000. Down there and when I moved to Oxford All me and my wife could afford was council accommodation (I was and am, earning and in the civil service, but the government pay means in most areas accommodation is unaffordable).
