A council's 20-year scheme to tackle empty homes has
resulted in over 2,000 residences being brought back into use. Southampton City
Council says that for the twentieth year running is has reached its target of
filling at least 100 empty properties. Latest estimates suggest that there are
around 2,700 vacant homes in the city at any given time. Most are only empty
for a short time, such as when a private tenant moves out and before another one
moves in. Most of the homes are privately owned. The council says that
properties can be empty for a number of reasons, which are often complex and
difficult for the property owner. Read more on the Southampton City Council
website.
