OXFORD City Council is urging people who are concerned there are empty properties in their neighbourhood to get in touch.
Over 2016/17 the council brought 22 empty homes back into use.
It also used compulsory purchase powers to take back ownership of a house that had been reported empty on Spencer Crescent in Rose Hill last year.
If you are concerned that a property near you is lying empty and could be opened up, report it to the City Council online.
