I agree. This issue is a bugbear of mine with the local authorities.

The legislation that is currently in place for dealing with derelict sites and dangerous structures is not effective and is not working. What legislative changes do we need to make to make that CPO process more effective, in order that local authorities can step in where necessary in towns, villages and cities right across this country? It is a very important piece of the housing jigsaw that has not really been addressed over the past number of years.
