Lib Dems first off the blocks?

According to one of the on-line planning newsletters APTSec receives Sarah Teather, Lib Dem housing spokeswoman, outlined proposals yesterday at the Lib Dem Conference for a "self-starters" initiative, which she said could help first-time buyers attain an affordable property, as well as help to regenerate areas. Apparently 30,000 families could be housed if all of England’s empty social homes were brought back into use.

Given that we are in conference season and the news appears to be full of stories of how the various Parties will cut costs, should we also be expecting announcements from the other Political Parties as to their plans to solve the housing crisis?

mm...

...wonder how many homes could be made available under a scheme like this in our neck of the the woods?
