Kirklees Council is to decide whether to buy back houses
sold under the Right to Buy scheme, in a bid to halt a growing social housing
"crisis". The local authority has proposed bringing empty homes sold
through the scheme back into use. Plans to build 400 council or affordable
homes over the next four years will also be discussed at a forthcoming council
meeting. The council said, without changes, "our children will have
nowhere to live". Read more on the BBC website.
