I totally understand the housing situation, but i would like to understand why the council and government doesn't do more with all the run down houses around Brentwood that are laying empty and an eyesore. I have 2 houses just doors down from my property and the environmental health told me there are many more. Surely if we paid attention to these and there are many, we would have places for people. Instead of cramming more houses in, which in turn takes away parking and will result in shops closing. Maybe the council should consider fixing some of the root cause, instead of adding more complexity.
