Overcrowded housing
I am not sure which section to ask this.
I have been told that on a new estate in a nearby town a lot of the houses have been bought by people believed to be Chinese in origin, each house, 3 bedroomed semis, now houses 8-10 Polish men who are working here. Some of the houses have beds in the kitchen. The Chinese take rent off each person.
Should I report what I have been told to any authority on the grounds of health and safety? if so who or should I ignore the situation and hope no-one gets hurt or killed if a fire breaks out. If the situation is reported would it make life harder for the Poles, ie would the Chinese take it out on them.
Before anyone says anything this is NOT a racist question, I have only quoted the nationalities as it could effect the answers, I am not sure where these people work but this area is not very far away from Morecombe Bay, I do know some Poles do a very good job delivering booze to the off-licences in the area.
What would other AB's do?

This is not a urban myth.
i would suggest doing what gary baldy recommends - talking with the poles to see if they are being overcharged for what may be overcrowded and possibly not very good living conditions. if they are OK with their situation then so be it, but if they are being ripped off, someone should offer them support.
