Re: Selective Licensing of Landlords

"Always have sugar in to keep people sweet..." Is that Cryptic for poor scheme designed to appease masses?

I believe it's a start. Society, Hyndburn has to get a grip of chronic housing problems. Parts of Accrington ar boarded up and other parts a places people don't want to live.

SL tries to deal not with stock condition but the people who live in these areas and who have little respect. Landlords have proven not to be responsible in looking after the neighbourhood, ie housing anti social tenants.

Where it needs to go further is stock condition. It's not alright to allow one landlord or person to turn their house into a tip or one that is in need of critical repairs. Other people, owner occupiers, live there too.

There is the supplementary issue then of decent law abiding people only having access to poor and often dangerous properties.

I worry that landlords are still not getting message but still getting their money.
