Nearly £2.4m made available to ramp up action against rogue landlords.
More than 50 councils across the country will share nearly £2.4m of extra funding to crack down on rogue landlords.
The cash boost confirmed by MHCLG offers councils across the country a share of the funding for projects to take tougher action.
Among the councils to benefit from the funding are:
- Walsall – to improve cross-agency enforcement work, including the innovative use of drones and thermal mapping to identify problem properties
- Lancaster – to create a training programme for existing enforcement staff across the Lancashire region
- Greater London Authority (GLA) and Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA) – allocated over £330,000 between them to carry out coordinated work to tackle rogue landlords who operate across multiple local authorities in their regions
