In response to growing concerns of family homes being turned into inadequate Houses of Multiple Occupation (HMOs) in the Heneage ward, local Lib Dem campaigner Brian Barrett has launched a petition calling for stricter rules in the Council’s housing policy to better protect the local community.
Brian said: “Residents have told me about issues with overcrowding, insufficient parking, and anti-social behaviour due to inadequate HMOs and outdated Council policies. The Council is failing residents and tenants, letting down tenants and residents of the community”.
Brian’s petition calls for mandatory licensing on all HMOs in Heneage, along with additional discretionary conditions to help prevent anti-social behaviour. Brian also calls for an ‘Article 4 Direction’ regulation in areas with high HMO concentration, such as on Hainton
Avenue, to limit further developments.

By advocating for stricter rules on HMOs, Brian hopes to ensure a safer and more harmonious living environment for all residents.
