For further information on the Empty Homes Strategy, please contact Dave Skellington - Senior Environmental Health Officer on 01623 457261.

The council, as part of a national push to get empty properties back into use, encourages people to report empty properties so that we can do something about them. If you know of a residential property standing empty, then please contact us . (see below ). We will investigate and take whatever steps are appropriate.

Empty private properties can cause problems for both the owners and the neighbours.

They can create a health and safety risk, lose the owner money, be a target for squatters, vandals and burglars and become an eyesore. Empty properties could, in the right condition, provide a much needed home for Ashfield people.
