For the curious.

I emailed my mayor asking why the council is not allowing people to apply for affordable homes as is required by EU human rights laws.

I got a reply stating due to severe pressure on housing, only the homeless are eligible.

I reminded him other (neighbouring) council's are not doing the same.

Second reply said the council are been compliant with UK laws (Defensive?).

I finally asked him have the council volunteered to house syria refugees, and if yes can he confirm the local housing crisis at the same time.

There was no reply initially, but then his deputy replied stating he can confirm Leics City council has offered to house syria refugees and that applications for housing are closed to anyone not homeless due to severe pressure.

I didnt ask any more questions, just in shock, that is to me a indirect admittance of a link between immigration and availability of social housing.
