Countdown to enforcement for town centre landlords
A deadline is fast approaching for landlords of town centre eyesores, which follows on from warnings issued by the council last month.

Previously, the council carried out an assessment and wrote to the owners of the most run-down sites in Long Eaton and Ilkeston, requiring them to respond by 30 June.
They were warned that the council will take enforcement action against them if they do not address the issues identified, such as broken windows, graffiti, vegetation, peeling paintwork and plasterwork.
Councillor Curtis Howard, Lead Member for Town Centres, Regeneration and Planning, said: “We are taking strong action against neglectful landlords by issuing a clean-up order, and if works are not carried out, we will do the job ourselves, and send them the bill.”
