Great British Property Scandal nominated for Emmy

A news report on the Empty Homes website reveals that the popular Great British Property Scandal programmes presented by George Clarke and produced for Channel 4 television have been nominated for an Emmy award in the "digital programme non-fiction" category. The news item goes on to report that the charity Empty Homes (previously the Empty Homes Agency) will "shortly inherit the digital content for the series including the Report Empty Homes spotter and social media pages." The "digital" aspect of the award can be assumed to refer to the on-line petition and the report-an-empty aspect of the programme. We wish the programme makers every success. International recognition will highlight the good work being done in Britain to tackle the issue of empty homes. The announcement about all the nominees with further informatioon about the awards can be found here. It will be interesting to see whether the mantle of Independent Empty Homes Advisor will also pass from George Clarke to David Ireland, the latter having built a strong reputation over a period of decades on the empty homes issue.
