Have you heard the news? I saw it on the local television today. There are 2,742 empty houses in Cornwall. (And yet we must build more than fifty thousand new houses – according to the hateful Cornwall Local Plan.) Many houses have been empty for more than two years, four years or even ten years. “They should be used,” says Cornwall Council. Sometimes the Council must look for owners and help them to renovate their house. Some houses are ruined. It is good to see them being mended. There are also derelict farm buildings. Could any be converted into a nice house? But these houses, will they be used for Cornish men and women or will they be second homes or holiday homes?
