Selective Licensing Consultation

The Council is considering a landlord and tenant friendly Selective Licensing Scheme within parts of the East and West Marsh areas.   It’s intended to tackle the issues of crime, anti-social behaviour and poor housing conditions. We’re consulting with residents of the area, landlords and members of the public so this is an opportunity for you to influence how the scheme will be developed and carried out.  Your views will be considered and will help to shape the decisions made about the scheme. 
We’d like to know about the issues you have experienced in these areas, what you think of the proposal as well as the areas suggested for Selective Licensing. 
For further information please read the attached documents here: https://bit.ly/2NzbQRj

We are also holding drop-in sessions on these dates:

Wednesday 29th January, 9am to 7.30pm, West Marsh Community Centre;

Thursday 30th January, 9am to 5pm, Grimsby Neighbourhood Centre;

Wednesday 5th February, 5pm to 7.30pm, Grimsby Neighbourhood Centre
