Anti-social property owners: the Hale Barns connection

South Manchester Reporter 24 August 2006: Eyesore is facing demolition at lastLife as an anti-social property owner is becoming increasingly tough. Not only is Manchester City Council demanding people secure their properties and alleging all sorts, they’ve upset some with the idea that empty properties might be turned into homes and now they’ve taken to threatening eyesores with demolition.

It seems that nowadays private property rights come with all sorts of responsibilities. Whatever next?

This is purely anecdotal, of course, but I do see that both Mohammed Afaq and Martin Rawlings (whose empty garage is threatened with demolition) hale from posh Hale Barns… bet they’re on their best behaviour at home.
