Of course people with local links should have first call on council housing. That is why it is run by councils and housing associations, not by central government.
It is good to see council housing being taken seriously again. Can we hope that the proposal to abolish security of tenure will be dropped?
And can we hope for a facing up to the economic, social, cultural and political damage done by the handover of the wealth that was council houses to people who were thus launched into the property market ahead of those who had saved for deposits?
