How delighted I was to read that John Prescott is about to empower councils to compulsorily take over and manage long-term empty homes (The Argus, August 18).
Seeing as Connaught Building in Connaught Road, Hove, has been lying empty for between two and three years now (with the exception of one flat), may I suggest Brighton and Hove City Council looses no time in requisitioning these dozen or more flats before they degenerate into an eyesore and encourage anti-social elements?
