    Tom #128 "The aspiration is not to own a home of one's own, but to attain the lowest rung upon the property ladder and to again aspire to climb up."

    Not true for the majority of those I know who bought their council houses as we did and still live in them. We bought ours so we could update and have longed for double glazing and central heating and change it to our taste. We lived there for about another 15yrs until my husband was made redundant from the ferries.then we moved to the pub and my daughter moved back into the house freeing up her council home to others on the list.

    I sold the house when my husband died to buy a larger one so my daughter and grandchildren could live with me which has worked out brilliantly for all of us.
