Cllr David Ellis supported the event and was on hand to take questions.

“This is a very important consultation and could make a really  important difference to this community,” said Cllr David Ellis, who  represents the Ernehale ward.

“Residents have a right to live in properties that are fit for purpose. Asking landlords to meet our standards acts as a way of improving  housing conditions and property management and also it can have a  longer term effect of reducing anti-social behaviour and crime which can  be linked to areas with deprivation and poor living conditions,” he  added.
