A number of people from interested agencies (including the Council, universities, students, landlords and residents) have been invited to attend. Two representatives from the Nottingham Action Group have been asked to joint the focus group.
The group will have a chance to discuss, amongst other things: the positive and negative effects of studentification; which planning and non-planning tools can be used to address the problems; what barriers exist to implementation of them.
Similar meetings are scheduled to take place in Leeds, Loughborough, Southampton and Bristol.
