Minutes:
A member of the public referred to his own predicament and the difficulties he had faced in his privately rented accommodation with theft of money and personal belongings and his dwelling not being up to a recognised standard. He further elaborated on an issue with the boiler being condemned and the health and safety risks within the property. He asked, therefore, if the Council could look to challenge and hold to account private landlords to maintain properties and under a Freedom of Information request how many other privately rented homes had been condemned.
The Leader confirmed that the member of the public would be contacted by relevant staff and the information provided to him.
