So why has this RTB scheme around if no one should apply? Please explain who the scheme is for?0 -

Why don't you start your own thread about RTB and others who have the same views as you can all enjoy themselves?
I changed my mind. That's my right.
So what did the council say when you contacted them this morning? You did contact them didn't you?
As a dedicated forum member i can't wait to help guide you through the ensuing process so that your mother has a more comfortable home life.0 -

It has to be both tenants who apply.
Does your mother understand the risks to her future of giving up a secure tenancy?0 -
If the OP has RTB, then why shouldn't they go for it, they are not breaking any rules. Whether RTB should be allowed or not is a different discussion, but I don't blame the OP for going for it if they can.(AKA HRH_MUngo)

Imagine someone holding forth on biology whose only knowledge of the subject is the Book of British Birds, and you have a rough idea of what it feels like to read Richard Dawkins on theology: Terry Eagleton0 -

My mother does not need your help? This is my original forum question below
"My question is are bungalows excluded from this scheme full stop?"

RTB never goes down well on here.
As I've said, some people might think it should not be allowed, but however it is, and people have a perfect right to apply if they are eligible.
Perhaps people haven't noticed that no Government since RTB was brought in by Thatcher has ever changed the law?
I can't answer your original question, sorry.(AKA HRH_MUngo)

So yet again, what did the council say? You did contact them today didn't you? They can answer your question.
This forum exists to help people. I'm sorry if that irritates you.0
