This is good abd long overdue. Will you be able to update re lease especially in regard to extending lease. Also year on year service charge increases with little improvement in services and outstanding work on buildings for years. Especially concerning where Social Housing Association is concerned. I welcome your feedback Amanda. Thanks for all of your hard work!
Good luck finding all the houses for the homeless renters as a result of this - all you’re doing is forcing genuine landlords to sell their properties
On Friday, I had the opportunity to meet with the Chief Fire Officer of the Leicestershire Fire and Rescue Service. I expressed my thanks to the team members at Castle Donington Fire Station for their hard work following the floods from last week.
We talked about how quickly the water levels rose and how this impacted the response, which ultimately led to the declaration of a major incident with all resources being deployed across the county.
It was also good to understand more about the funding gap between Leicestershire Fire and Rescue Service and other areas across the UK, which I will be raising with the Minister shortly.
