Council Reaches 'Key Milestone' In Bid to License All Private Landlords

Newham Council has reached a key milestone in its bid to license all private landlords in the London borough.  The council has announced that all 257 private rented properties in the Little Ilford ward have now been registered. The ward - which has been officially declared a Neighbourhood Improvement Zone (NIZ) - is seen as just the start by the council. It wants to extend the scheme to cover the whole of Newham. It would become the first borough in the country to license all private landlords.  Read more on the Newham Council website.
