Some Cornish are convinced that 'problem' Mancs are taking their homes - here's what really happening
It’s a rumour that has circulated in Cornwall for decades. Many believe social housing is being built in the holiday hotspot for 'problem families' from Manchester and Liverpool, or being bought from developers to 'ship people out'. The claim centres around the notion that northern councils ‘dump’ people in Cornwall because they are not wanted in their areas - and this is causing all sorts of crime in Cornish towns and villages.
