Do not forget, though, that even if we just take those on the list now and put that figure against what the council is planning to build, it will fall short. If you add to that the 2,825 people expected to be added to the list in the next few years, it means we will be in a worse position at the end of this period, with thousands of extra people on the list. Something must be done about this. We have to do more. The Government needs to know this, but we must do more. I presume we do not have an answer as to how many applicants were removed from the housing list between 2018 and 2021.
