Ron was pointing at the faults and the flaws.

I'm looking at some of the images here, some of the properties.

There's literally nothing on the inside.

The roof is gone.

The floors are gone.

And in some cases, I'd be advocating, should we just demolish and rebuild?

Should we demolish and put another type of housing onto those sites?

And let's focus on the solutions and what we can do and turn this dereliction into thriving homes to meet the needs of people on our housing list, language and emergency accommodation, and those in the transfer list.

Let's turn them around and let's be solution focused.
