Three empty properties on Shuttleworth Street have now been reported to HBC for remedial action to be requested from the owners. The following actions are currently being taken:
- No 9 - property secured and up for sale, no further action needed for the time being
- No 11 - owned by Hometrader NW, enforcement action proceeding
- No 12 - owned by Propertone who are in liquidation, HBC trying to trace the liquidators to proceed with cleanup of the property
The Rishton Councillors and HBC are currently taking a much more aggressive stance on rogue landlords and a systematic review of empty homes is underway within the village. Spring Street remains the worst affected area and is being looked at as a priority but all empty and dilapidated properties will be reported in due course.
Please get in touch with any of the Rishton Councillors if a particular property is spoiling your part of the village.
