Bringing Empty Properties Back into Use
We the undersigned petition Brighton & Hove Council to bring the 867 long term empty properties in B&H shown in the 2012 Homes from Empty Properties report back into use. We call on the council to publish a list of these properties complete with a funded plan to bring them back in use.
867 empty properties could be brought back in use for those in need under the powers that the council already holds. This should be funded by stopping all non essential projects (such as new signage, cycle paths, redevelopment vanity projects, the eye) until 90% of these properties are in use. Homes are far more important than many of the council’s other expenditure. Any list of these properties should avoid giving exact addresses to reduce the risk of squatting.
