There has to be a reasonable proximity to a school where children are involved. In addition, there should be access to family support networks for elderly, disabled or ill people. Those criteria should be written into the legislation so that a local authority would have to consider them in deciding what is a reasonable offer.

Housing departments will sometimes take such matters into consideration but they are under massive pressure to offer something, however inappropriate. If those criteria were written into the Bill, it would provide some protection to tenants.
