I Guess We Don't Have A Council Housing Crisis After All...

A 'house of horrors' where a 'truly evil' monster murdered his pregnant partner and three children with a claw hammer is set to be demolished after the killer was jailed for life.
North East Derbyshire District Council, which owns the property valued at roughly £100,000, came to the decision after tenants in the adjoining home in Killamarsh asked to leave.
Not if we can indulge in such utterly pointless gestures. Not that there isn't precedent, of course. Lots of it.
...a spokesman added that the building would be replaced with a 'fitting commemoration' to those who lost their lives there on September 19 last year.

Two houses lost to the council stock for what..?

Perhaps so he can't re-occupy it when he's released?

There are plenty of cross-channel boaters who’d love a free house in Derbyshire

It's common for people to not want to live in a house with a history.

They change street names, demolish them, convert them into something else depending on location. Many go unused for decades. The locals all talk about it for a very long time and even neighbours will move to get away from the place.

So I'm not surprised about this. It's BAU.

God, if only that was a joke!

Don't give them ideas!

"So I'm not surprised about this. It's BAU."

I have another acronym in mind...
