EHN & LGA Survey: Views sought on issues affecting Empty Homes Officers

The Empty Homes Network, in partnership with The Local Government Association, has launched an online survey aimed at empty homes officers and practitioners, in order to gain an understanding of issues affecting their roles.

As part of the LGA’s Empty Homes Paper to be launched at the end of September, the survey seeks to understand the level of resources available to officers, views on enforcement and levels of empty and second homes premiums, as well as current statistics and additional resources.

The survey runs until the 17:00 on the 1st September and can be completed HERE, with all responses remaining anonymous.

The paper, which includes a host of recommendations in order to support councils and their empty homes work, will be launched during a webinar hosted by the LGA on the 21st September. Details of the webinar, and how to register, can be found HERE.
