Congratulations Hounslow Council

After a whole year sitting empty the three bedroom property in Worple Avenue Isleworth has had its upstairs windows opened so there is a glimmer of a family being housed in the near future

There are also what look like abandoned properties around and about - I thought that councils had the powers to be bale to take them over if they cannot trace the owners? It it really is a crying shame to see the state of some of them, when they could be brought back into use for families........

Empty house on Twickenham Road between 127 & 127 old school caretakers house !

Yes, it is. I finally - after many months got an up date which I have forwarded to Paul re the empty properties in our area. Coincidentally I was speaking to another local resident whose daughter and children cannot get anywhere to live - so lives with her in her council property.I suggested I give her the list of empties and she could then ask the very reasonable question as to why she could not be given one of them. The question we really need to ask is how many are there across the whole borough.

Is that the same property that Vanessa was reporting on?  I have a feeling the one she mentioned was another one.

HahaIt is simply staggering that a Council that pleads poverty at every opportunity and has a major housing crisis can allow decent properties to stay empty for so long despite months of prompting from residents

Excellent. When I was little I was told, EVERYTHING COMES TO HE WHO WAITS. It seems you waited a bit longer though!!!!
