Forced Migration

[BDG]

I would not say it is forced - the people who may move do have a choice, they can earn enough to pay their rent or they can move somewhere else. A lot depends on to where they are moved and who moves. Having said that, not as many as people think may move.

Thousands of sub £400 a week places to live.

In the effected communities where people move to - if it really happens, people will assimilate into the local community - the will more than likely be put into areas of same or similar socio-economic grouping.

In London, we should see a reduction in rents - only a small one however, as there are plenty of sub £400/week places to live. However, rents will no longer be artificially inflated, landlords will have to charge what people can afford, it may make it better for those in London who earn, but not a lot.

I cannot see these people who move being moved to the countryside. The majority will be heavily dependent on support some services - doctors, mental health workers, social workers, substance misuse workers and so on and so are given priority to be in urban areas. It is a fact that you see such islands of dependance in certain parts of urban areas. When I observed this to my brother he explained it (he is a sociologist).
