How much money is this "bedroom tax" supposed to save on the Welfare benefits bill. Personally I think to overcome the shortage of council owned 1 and 2 bedroom dwellings for those that want to downsize there should be a nationalised company (maybe using ship and aircraft and caravan builders etc involved) who could fabricate the required dwellings to be put up on brown sites by locally employed labour. I'm sure with modern materials something nice could be built. just after the war housing shortage

****Action**** 10.30am Saturday 23rd March Crosville Bus Depot, Old Chester Road - Leafleting for Rock Ferry against bedroom tax/cuts meeting We need as many as possible out for this - if we're only doing one day's leafleting we won't cover the area unless we have enough people out. Please come if you can - it's just pushing leaflets through doors.
Done it,i think they are now looking into the urgent cases eg Fostering,pensioners and the disabled.The ones who are in bigger houses that DONT need them extra rooms will be taxed for sure.Mostly ones on benefits that there kids have left home and the spare rooms are laying EMPTY.
