Closed Conduct review of abandoned buildings and potential to refurbish into shelters

Closed on

We call on the Government to work with property owners, county councils, town councils and building companies/charities to conduct a review of abandoned buildings. The review should consider whether these buildings can be refurbished into shelters for the homeless, and for children under 18.

The United Kingdom has a problem with things like homelessness, domestic violence and under 18s within unsafe environments and this idea could bring about a change for the UK by providing a safe environment for them to start their lives as well as providing more jobs within the UK. It may also change views on rehabilitation and 'second chances'!
