Action pledged against owners of long-term empty houses

It is estimated there are roughly 400 long-term empty houses within the council's boundaries.
Meanwhile, there are more than 6,000 people looking for a suitable home on Dorset Council's housing register.
Against this backdrop, Dorset Council has been taking part in Empty Homes Week – an initiative launched to help offset the current national housing shortage.
Councillor Graham Carr-Jones, Dorset Council portfolio holder for housing and community safety, said: “The council is now taking a wide range of action to bring long-term empty homes back into use.
“We need more housing for Dorset and empty homes can play a key part in helping us achieve that.
