At the end of last year, it was reported that the Conservative controlled City Council, intends to buy up homes in Peterborough to house the growing numbers of homeless residents.
- You may remember just over a year or so ago, we discovered that the Council had moved families into a local Travelodge at a seven-figure cost!
- While at the same time, people in Peterborough also discovered homelessness under the Tories at the Town Hall had risen by 200%!
I for one will of course be interested to find out what properties end up being purchased, and from whom.
Especially, as several opposition councillors have previously called for such action, only to be told it was not a viable option?
Seems, the Tories have changed their position now when it comes to finding the money to house homeless people?
As always, I’d love to know your thoughts on these proposals.
- I also think that it’s important to remember that 13 years ago, the same Tories, decided to close a centre for the homeless, called St Theresa’s Day Care Centre, something I campaigned on at the time.
