So we've established that the idea in principle is sound, but the question of the price still needs addressing ! Council takes its pound of flesh from Landlord = Landlord requires to make up short fall = Screw the prices right up on the poor unfortunates in the accommodation !

Yes Mrs Jones, I know its an extra 50 nicker a month you've got to raise to pay your bill but I've got a family to feed as well ! Now if you was on the social ! well you'd be laughing wouldn't you as it'd be paid for you, but since you chose to try & eke out a living by working & raising your kids yourself !

Is the Council going to make a stand for these people as well ?? after all that is the whole point of the exercise isn't it ? To ensure suitable housing which is safe & comfortable for all the Tenants ! Will they ensure the above scenario won't be repeated throughout the Borough ? as mentioned elsewhere, will they also include in the licence a clause to protect those who attempt to pay their own way ?
