Thongsley/The Whaddons bungalows redevelopment.
A recent Lib Dem Focus castigated Luminus regarding the bungalows at Thongsley and The Whaddons.
This scandal first came to light during the election where Sam Kemp became the youngest councillor in the the County. That was in 2007.
At that time were told by local residents that some of the bungalows had been empty for 2 years. Since then more bungalows have been emptied and remain vacant.
Bungalows are a hugely sought after resource. To leave 20 empty for so long is appalling. Luminus did not immediately drag empty the remaining homes. They let the matter drift on for year, so the bungalows cannot have been dangerously unsafe.
So why didn't they issue short term lets providing short term lets to vulnerable and needy people whilst the company made its preparations for redevelopment?
After years of apparent inactivity shortly after our Focus hit the streets Luminus concluded a deal with the Council to acquire the site. Obviously just a co-incidence. Or is it?
