It states here that Clegg has stated that Councils should have the right to evict rioters from council properties and they they would have to declair themselves as homeless and the local council would have to rehome them... Errrmmm wouldnt this just cost more tax payers money and be a total waste of time.
You evict someone so your gonna have to get a court order for that which will take time and cost money. You get the order and they are evicted and chances are these people will not go quietly so you may need police presence which again will cost money. Councils will then have to get staff in to make sure property is fit and upto date or work will have to be done. Then the people they have just evicted would declair they are homeless to the SAME! Council and the SAME! Council would have to spend money on rehoming the same people. Is it me or is this pointless?
