Rossendale council heard of the 'hidden homelessness' problem in the area and of housing waiting lists, at its latest meeting. The council is launching a consultation to see what issues people are facing in terms of housing. Join the conversation here:
Not enough bedrooms? No back garden? Expensive rent or mortgages? Noisy neighbours? Rogue landlords? Damp on the walls?
But local people are being asked to get involved too. Households, both large and small, people of different ages, property owners, landlords, tenants, housing organisations, community groups and others will be asked to share their experiences so a new housing strategy reflects the reality of Rossendale housing now.
She said Rossendale currently has over 32,000 homes of which almost 70 per cent are owner-occupied. This is higher than regional and national averages. Meanwhile, the ratios of private rented and social rented homes are lower than elsewhere. She emphasised the importance for councillor and public feedback : “We want a better picture of people’s experiences and feelings about homes. What factors impact on them? It could be damp homes, issues with neighbours, not having enough bedrooms or wanting a garden? We want to know all the things people feel, to see if we can intervene as a council? Our work as a council is not just about getting affordable homes on new sites.
Conservative Coun Granville Morris said: “I think it’s a breath of fresh air to hear ideas about improving existing homes. Some other areas have decimated their terraced housing over the years. But some old terraced properties are well-built. Old houses are valuable and a fundamental change is needed to refresh those areas."
