We want your views on
plans to improve housing standards in privately rented homes.Newcastle City Council
is consulting on re-designating Selective Licensing Schemes for private rented
accommodation in Byker and Greater High Cross.
Before we can introduce a licensing scheme, we have to show why we think
this kind of scheme is needed, what kind of problems it is trying to tackle and
why we think Selective Licensing is the only option left. We must consult with
all affected people, such as tenants, residents, landlords, managing agents,
businesses, charities, Police, Fire Service, local councillors etc. It is very
important that we gather as many views as possible and that we give proper
consideration to these views.
To make sure that we consult fairly we are using a variety of methods to
reach stakeholders, these include on-line questionnaires, and virtual events
and workshops.
The formal consultation process starts on Monday 9 November
2020 and lasts for 12 weeks, ending on Sunday 31 January 2021.
