[entwisi]

Wasn't there an big who ha a week or so ago because councils had mis understood goverment guidelines on new housing planning laws. Basically they had been refusing applications when they should be encouraging them.

Anyway you only have to look at the huge waiting list for sheltered/assisted accomodation in Hyndburn to see there isn't enough. After all its only been public knowledge for 10 or more years that we are all living longer. Doesn't take a brain surgeon to work out there will be an increased need for suitable housing.
