Why not do this for ALL homes in the borough, we all pay Council Tax? I bet a lot getting their homes done for free don't!

I may become a landlord, buy a knackered house in a bad area, get it done up for free and sell or lease it for profit.
I think this a nation wide problem not just Burnley, one of the bigest problems is absent landlords who own property but just leave them to rot, the lord only knows why. I think councils are now take this problem very seriously and make compulsary purchase orders to landlords who let their properties fall into disrepair
