Properties earmarked for demolition used as temporary accommodation
Dear Brent Borough Council,
Are there any residential blocks which the Council has earmarked for regeneration or demolition, where you have leased out void properties to external housing providers and/or directly used the void properties as temporary or interim accommodation?
If so, how many properties fall into these categories and what are the names of the residential blocks/housing estates/roads that they are on?
If there are external providers, when did these contracts/leases start and when are they up for renewal/ending? Who sets the rent under these contracts/leases and what are they per week? How many properties are these contracts/leases for?
If the properties are directly managed by the council, what are the rents per week?
Yours faithfully,
Dr Joe Beswick
