Consultations and surveys Pre-consultation for having licences for privately rented properties

Where we want to run the scheme, and how you can have your say

This proposal has now closed so we will not be accepting anymore comments at this time

To introduce selective licensing we need to consult people who may be affected by the scheme, including the residents and landlords with properties in the area. You can give your views on our online questionnaire or by attending an online drop in event. The closing date for comments is 14 April 2021.
