The issue for me is that nobody is saying "No". I would nearly prefer if one Department said it was not doing that because we could have a proper conversation about the issue. It is not unique to my area, but when I walk past the houses, I see they are falling further into dereliction, and it will be increasingly expensive to bring them back into use. Some catalyst will have to be deployed to get the ball rolling on this because both Departments are saying they are not hostile to derelict houses being developed, but they are still not being developed. Would Ms Graham be able to give me a sense of when we could expect to see these houses coming back into use?
