I always understood council housing was for people unable to afford to buy a home, so how come it is the fault of the council that Peter Bennett hasn't got a home (Argus, March 8)?

He should be buying a home with the proceeds of the house he has just sold in Portslade.

This way he can have exactly what he wants where he wants and the council flat will be left available for someone in genuine need.
