Reading Borough Council are launching a series of consultations on housing - 'Let's Talk Housing'.
Cesnsus data from 2011 shows the number of people renting their homes privately in Battle ward has risen. I often see tweeters using the #rdg and #rdguk hashtags to complain about the treatment they have received as a tenants and similar complaints on Facebook.
The first consultation is about private rented accommodation and we would like to hear your experiences. The consultation launches on 1 June and there's a link top right. Please also feel free to get in touch with me directly if you have an issue Reading Borough Council and I can help with. The Get In Touch tab above has my contact details
‘Lets Talk
Housing’ – Private Rented Sector
READING Borough Council today launches ‘Let’s Talk
Housing’ - a three part consultation which takes a closer look at the
housing issues which affect people in Reading the most.
Running from June until December, ‘Let’s Talk
Housing’ will focus on talking to residents about strategies and policies
that aim to improve the ways that the people in our town are housed.
The Council wants to engage with the community regarding a number of
changes, new policies and new initiatives that could affect residents of Reading across all housing
sectors. We want to hear from home owners and tenants of both the private
rented and social sector, so that we can ensure that residents views are
reflected in the decisions made and the way services are delivered in the
future. We will also be listening to organisations that work in the housing
sector and with homeless people to ensure that their experiences are included.
‘Let’s Talk Housing’ begins on 1 June with a detailed
consultation on Reading’s
Private Rented Sector.
