Open meeting with Alan Simpson, Constituency MP for Nottingham South to launch the "Shop a Shed" Campaign

This event was reported in the Nottingham Evening Post. Discussions with Council officers in Planning and Environmental Services (including Public Health and Neighbourhood Services) had highlighted the need for a mechanism by which information from people living in neighbourhoods with HMOs could be gathered, collated and entered into a database so that it is available for research leading to new policies and strategies, and as part of representations to central government, and at planning appeal hearings, etc. The NAG (using information provided by members of the National HMO Lobby in Leeds, Loughborough and Lincoln where amenity audits were already under way, and with input and support from the Partnership Council and New Deal for Communities) has produced an Incident Log and associated notes which residents are encouraged to fill in and return to the Student Strategy Manager at the City Council.
