Empty home crisis: Why aren't they being used to solve shortages? There are almost 720,000 empty homes in England. And many more on social housing waiting lists. Is using one to help solve the other a case of a missed opportunity?

Interesting article by BBC on tackling empty homes. @bromleylabour.bsky.social @bromleylibdems.bsky.social @liamconlon.bsky.social

HMG needs to enact empty homes strategy so that Bromley residents can force Bromley Council to act.
