Council criticised for selling homes despite waiting list (From Oxford Mail)

OXFORD City Council is putting more residential homes up for sale, despite its growing housing waiting list.

Two houses near Horspath sportsground have gone on the market for sealed bids of more than £375,000.

They are the latest property off-loads by the council of its unwanted buildings.

But Horspath resident Keith Brooks said the pair of semis had been empty for years and should have been used for one of the many families on the council’s housing waiting list, which is about 6,000 people.
