On December 9, there will be a meeting to discuss a review of Brighton and Hove City Council grants policy.

Voice of The Argus (December 2) reports that youngsters are most vulnerable when on the streets without a home, for whatever reason.

One reason may be due to council policy for houses in multiple occupation.

I hope the review will decide to make grants available for all work the council deems necessary and as directed by the council.

Otherwise, we may have empty properties and bedsits in central Brighton.

This should be taken into account when council tax is set for next year.

I am very glad the council takes an interest in providing better housing.

Council tax must allow for this extra work if such improvements are required to make tenants safer and more comfortable.
