SIR - Mr Priestley (T&A Letters, July 15) draws attention to the number of empty properties he sees almost on a daily basis and welcomes the law enabling councils to bring them into use.
He is right! Hopefully the amount of new building will be reduced.
However, concern must be expressed that the number of empty council properties are not included in the law and they considerably outnumber the private properties - plus someone who should know what they are talking about states that councils already had the powers to deal with properties.
