This is an important issue for this constituency in many ways. Owner occupiers suffering, housing benefit rip off, houses rotting, areas undesireable, community spirit downbeat.
Watched it.

Can't find the clip, showing the danger and squalor one young Accrington mum and her child was forced to live with, but found the script of what was reported.
