Liverpool City Council is delivering a new, £6 million
programme to bring an additional 1,000 properties back into use. The Council is
investing the funds from its capital reserves, to build on the huge amount of progress
which has been made in tackling the problem of empty homes in the city since
2012. The investment will see a range of new initiatives being carried out over
the next four years, including:
• Acquiring long-term vacant properties from owners who
wish to sell, so they can be refurbished.
• Stepping up enforcement work, with more robust legal
support to take action against owners.
• Working in partnership with social housing providers to
target problem properties and problem neighbourhoods.
