Housing Bill will create ghettos across Britain

A COUNCIL tenants’ association warned yesterday that Britain would become “ghettoised” if the Tories’ loathsome Housing Bill was passed.

Camden Assembly of Tenants spokesman Dorian Courtesi told the Star that his north London community would be destroyed, as it already suffers under the strain of government restrictions on social housing stock.

As a low-waged worker living in the Barrington Court tower block, Mr Courtesi fears he too would be made to move if he ended up trapped by the Bill’s pay-to-stay clause.
