Landlords concerns over Telford licensing scheme
Landlords say they are still concerned about proposals for a new license.
Private landlords in certain areas in Telford face having to buy £600 five year licences before renting out properties in the borough.
The council says it is introducing a private licensing scheme in a bid to improve the standard or privately rented homes, bringing with it a cut in the amount of fly-tipping, crime and anti-social behaviour in certain areas.
But Bernie Lewis, a spokesman for the Wrekin Landlords Association says as it becomes more difficult to run a private rental business, the charges will put on extra strain.
Following a meeting on July 11 of the association, attended by over 100 people, Mr Lewis says many people are concerned about the proposals.
