Hot on the success of the "No Cold Calling" campaign;

Blackpool’s Residents Federation are keen to develop other services

and initiatives to improve the quality of life for all Blackpool residents,

Their latest aspiration in partnership with the Council is to develop a

Private Sector Tenants Forum, 

 The Forum will consist of private tenants, Federation members and

officers from Blackpool Council who will meet to; identify issues,

coordinate information and improve support to tenants.

The aims of the forum will be to deliver a series of market stall events that will,

Raise awareness of tenants rights and responsibilities,

Promote landlord’s rights, responsibilities and obligations

with the ultimate aim of improving standards of let properties across the town.

 

An initial steering group was held at Claremont Community Centre
attended by private tenants,
officers from the council and other leading service providers
and interested parties.

If you are a private tenant with a bit of time and a commitment to raise the standards of let housing in your area

We would like to hear from you;

Chris Wright who chaired the meeting on behalf of the Residents Federation said

Blackpool’s strapline--------

"A great place to visit, an even better place to live"
can only be realised if those trapped in the cycle of sub-standard
accommodation are supported to improve their accommodation,
circumstances and subsequent life chances.

Blackpool’s strap line

“A great place to visit an even better place to live”

can only be realised if those trapped in the cycle of

sub standard and poorly managed accommodation

are supported to improve their accommodation,

circumstances and subsequent life chances.
