Start allocating ' local affordable housing' correctly. It should be made available to hard working young families, who will use it as a stepping stone to get some money and stability in their life and be able to one day be a home owner. Stop putting unemployed, system scamming young people in these houses who will use them for the rest of thier lives. It is totally demoralising to hard working families who struggle to get by and watch this going on around them. Think of the he people who have paid good money to buy on these new estates, I'm hoping they back my cause too.

The stories shared in the comments reflect a deep frustration with how our housing resources are currently managed. I am spending my time gathering evidence to present to the local housing board so they understand the impact of these allocation choices on our community.

Seeing this progress confirms that many of you share the same frustration regarding fairness in our housing allocations. It is clear that the community expects a system that rewards hard work and provides stability for those who are building their futures.

Sick of watching people get everything handed to them on a plate while I work 50 hours a week and still struggle to pay the rent. Its a disgrace.

do not reward laziness, we already pay enough towards their families, let us use our own money for our own families.
