This week I have written to the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, Robert Jenrick , about the need for government to change the law so tougher sentences can be given to rogue landlords, who allow our proud heritage to be destroyed.
I have requested a meeting with the Minister and have said I will introduce a Ten Minute Rule Bill, if necessary, to remove the £1000 fine limit to unlimited (judicial discretion), under Section 216 of the Town & Country Planning Act 1990.
