Dear Mr Ahmed

 

In response to your Freedom of Information request please see our response
below next to your original email:

 

1) Please could you supply me with a copy of the HMO register along with
the names and address of the owners.

- Please see attached document

 

2) Could you also provide an address list of current long-term empty homes
within the borough.

- Unfortunately, we do not provide information regarding Domestic
Properties as this is classed as personal information under Section 40(2)
of the Freedom of Information Act. We would not release information to the
public that could be used to identify an individual, as this would breach
data protection. However, we do provide information regarding commercial
properties a copy of which is attached.

 

3) Lastly, would you be able to provide an address list of Council houses
and housing association

-  I can confirm that we do not hold this information as Blaenau Gwent
County Borough Council transferred their entire Council House stock to Tai
Calon Community Housing in July 2010, and their details are as follows:-

 

Tai Calon Community Housing

Solis One,

Rising Sun Industrial Estate,

Blaina,

Blaenau Gwent.

NP13 3JW

(Tel no: 0300 303 1717).

I hope this is of assistance.

 

Kind regards
