Greetings everyone! As we approach the final weeks of the Additional Licensing consultation for the entire Sandwell Borough, we want to remind you that the consultation period for this expansion will conclude on March 18, 2024. If you haven’t already, please take the time to share your input by completing our questionnaire at: https://consultationhub.sandwell.gov.uk/external-research-companies/hmo-additional-licensing-consultation/
The Sandwell Council envisions that extending the current licensing scheme to encompass all HMOs in the area will result in several positive outcomes:
- Enhancing living conditions for numerous tenants through property improvement.
- Mitigating property-related crime, addressing anti-social behavior, and reducing instances of rubbish dumping.
- Supporting responsible landlords while eliminating rogue landlords from operating within the borough.
- Elevating the overall image of the area, making it a more desirable place to reside.
Before reaching a decision, the Council values your opinions on the proposed changes and any alternative suggestions. Your participation in the questionnaire is crucial to shaping the outcome of this process. Thank you for your involvement!
