It is time to draw a line under the housing issues in Denmark Road, Portslade.
In November 2002, every tenant in Denmark Road was given three months' notice to quit so that the unsafe foundations under their houses could be attended to. Nearly 15 months have gone by but not everyone has been re-housed and nor has the work been done.
Is a trial of strength taking place between the housing department and the remaining resident in Denmark Road?
I hope this isn't the case but, if it is, the department needs to be reminded that Brighton and Hove City Council governs these matters. One of the councillors has been working very hard on the resident's behalf.
Let both South Portslade councillors take the high ground now. This matter has to be settled, and quickly.
