BBC Breakfast News in Accrington - Private Landlords
I have lobbied BBC News for a month or so to run a story on private landlords which is being broadcast all this morning at about 10 pas the hour.
It features a resident of Peel Ward, Tracy paying £95pw. It cut the asbestos roof on the back. The BBC cameras came up to Accrington last Thursday. This is an important issue for this constituency in many ways. Owner occupiers suffering, housing benefit rip off, houses rotting, areas undesireable, community spirit downbeat. |

Well done. Can't find the clip, showing the danger and squalor one young Accrington mum and her child was forced to live with, but found the script of what was reported. BBC News - One million rented homes in England 'are dangerous' |

Just thought I'd link this thread, for anyone who didn't see it, which is about Hyndburn's attempt to try and tackle the rogue private landlords.

Yeh saw it too, there's too much dilapidated properties in hyndburn, particularly in woodnook, around matalan area looking a right mess as well as the hidden types being lived in - these people pay rent or Hb and landlords do nothing but take the cash. Took insult to conservative opinion that the scheme should be scrapped as there's no real problem bar a few grr!

Re: BBC Breakfast News in Accrington - Private Landlords
that guy on the news lives in fantasy world i think somebody should take him a tour round the housing problem areas and he will have a different opinion.thelaws about empty proerties is useless as the landlord of the house at the end of orange street has kept it empty for at least 9 years briging down the full arear and reducing house prices..

The private sector is where there are vacancies. There are massive waiting lists, for the very few social housing there is left. |
Re: BBC Breakfast News in Accrington - Private Landlords
some people havent a choice there is a select few landlords in accy bringing the full area down .with only a minority who actually care about their properties.its a known fact that lanlords bring areas down so they can buy the rest at reduced prices..

Re: BBC Breakfast News in Accrington - Private Landlords
agreeing with you 100% because most politicians live in their own safe havens in their own little world but it is good a local politician is highlighting this and should be supported all the way whatever political leanings he has.for too long this has been swept under the carpet all over britain the slum landlords have been getting away with murder yes basicly murder and its been swept under the carpet..
