Kent empty homes

摘要

Sir, TV presenter George Clarke is right that financial assistance is crucial to bring empty homes back into use (residential, 27.04.12).The No Use Empty scheme in Kent has returned more than 2,000 vacant properties to use since 2005, partly because of the fact that Kent County Council makes interest-free loans of up to £25,000 per home.If owners know financial assistance is available, they will be more open to working with local authorities.
