THE luxury harbourside apartments have stunning sea views and are built to the highest specifications, with ensuites, walk-in wardrobes, balconies and state-of-the-art kitchens.

Just along the coast is the millionaires' enclave of Sandbanks, where property prices are among the highest in the world.

Yet for dozens of selected tenants at Harbour Reach in Poole, Dorset, the rent is a mere £75 a week - which will probably be paid from state benefits.

Welcome to the best council flats in Britain.


Only available for those on benefits I'm afraid.

Do they come with the 'right to buy' discount after n-years?

Those unemployed and single-parent tenants fortunate enough to be allocated one of the sought-after properties are naturally delighted. Not so the neighbours who have paid up to £525,000 for a two-bedroom flat.



There are some flats like that near me. They are supposed to go to council employees like nurses, doctors, teachers. But most are chavs - street cleaners, binmen, etcetc.

They built these flats round a playground - gives the teenagers a great place to hang out at night and annoy the locals.

At least they're all in one place so you can bomb the bastards!

I would get one of those machines that makes a noise only teenagers can hear!

I work with someone who lives in the flats - I asked him about reports of trouble. He said "it is fine since the nightly police patrols started"

I am a bit worried about these "luxury" flats across Britain's city centers turning into "Tower Hamlets" in a decade or two.

Looks like a disaster waiting to happen...

Streetcleaners and binmen are council employees too (and not chavs, because their work ethic, and willingness to do a sh*tty job for a fraction of the money you earn, keeps you and your family relatively vermin-free). Ever thought what you'd do without them?

Actually our council has no street cleaners or binman. They are all subbed out to private contractors.

So in effect, the bin men are nearer to ourselves than the nurses and doctors!

I was thinking that while I was typing my reply. I am impressed they have a job.

Maybe the local block is an exception - but from my friend they are not considerate. They make alot of noise, are not very friendly and let their kids do as they please.
