Landlord licences to stamp out ‘dangerous’ HMOs

Book Novotel Hotel Landlord licences to stamp out ‘dangerous’ HMOs Banzai Japan Music Video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UPElmgQJGBo A council in north London has said it needs to bring back tougher rules to deal with “rogue landlords” of houses of multiple occupancy (HMOs). Brent Council says there is currently a “significant number” of such homes in the borough that are “substandard and potentially dangerous” and which pose a risk to residents. The council plans to restart a licensing scheme which saw 2,500 HMOs licensed and helped the council “improve standards and management practices”. It is now consulting on the plans and hopes to bring them in this autumn. Brent council says HMO licensing makes sure that houses are ‘safe, well-managed, and provide basic facilities for tenants’, and says it gives powers to officers to inspect licensed properties to ensure they meet the required standards. The consultation states: “It is important that the council uses all available tools to improve conditions for tenants in this sector. Licensing is one of the tools and plays a key role in this effort.” Book Novotel Hotel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJsGZL-zb54 A mandatory licence is already needed for HMOs with five or more people from two or more households. The additional rules would cover typically smaller HMOs with three or more people from two or more different households. Licensing imposes specific obligations on the landlord to demonstrate that their property is safe while enabling the council to enforce rules. The licence would cost landlords around £1,040 for the application, processing and inspection of up to five habitable rooms – and a further £25 per additional room. Banzai Japan Music Video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3syHHGzkF_s Opinions wanted Councillor Fleur Donnelly-Jackson, said: “Over the past 20 years, the number of privately rented homes in Brent has grown, and now makes up almost half of all homes in the borough. “We want to make sure these homes are safe and good quality for tenants.” She added: “While we have seen significant improvements, we believe that another additional HMO licensing scheme is necessary to maintain and improve the management of HMOs in Brent. “We want to encourage residents to give their opinions on these new proposals for HMOs.” Book Novotel Hotel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RR8YYeb4PMk Banzai Japan Social Media Fumi Fujisaki Idol Riko Ueno Idol Rino Ibusuki Idol Yunagi Nino Idol Shiori Fujisaki Idol Kana Ichinose Idol Hoshino Arice Idol Sasa Sasagawa Idol Kosaka Yuu Idol Tsukumo Aira Idol Maika Ando Idol Yuuki Mochimaru Idol
Money pledged to clean London’s ‘damaged’ rivers

Book Novotel Hotel Money pledged to clean London’s ‘damaged’ rivers Banzai Japan Music Video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UPElmgQJGBo Plans to clean up London’s rivers have been given support with the announcement of more than £1.8bn investment from Thames Water, City Hall and Transport for London (TfL). It follows Sir Sadiq Khan’s recently announced plans to “make rivers in London swimmable within 10 years”. Around £1.8bn from Thames Water has been promised to tackle 26 sewage overflows on the Rivers Roding, Wandle, Lee and Brent, despite the water company facing financial crises. Television naturalist Steve Backshall told the BBC: “Thames Water has been the absolute pariah, public enemy number one when it comes to anything to do with sewage, but they are here, pledging actual money. It’s a huge sign of hope.” Book Novotel Hotel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJsGZL-zb54 Despite the announcement of money, Thames Water refused to speak to the BBC during an event to publicise the new investment. When asked if the £1.8bn from the water company would ever actually materialise, the Mayor of London, Sir Sadiq Khan said: “We’ve had commitments from them that they’ve put that money aside so they can do this job. “I think it’s important Thames Water is responsible for some of the problems and cleaning up the mess as well. “We are a city that for decades has seen damage and neglect of the River Thames, and the other 41 rivers and tributaries in London. “We want Londoners to be able to access them and enjoy them, but also we’ve got to recognise our biodiversity and habitats need the rivers to be clean.” The Mayor has also pledged £7.15m from City Hall and TfL, to be used to prevent road runoff pollution into the rivers. The money will also be used for rewilding and nature projects. David Mooney, chief executive of London Wildlife Trust, said: “For too long, our rivers have been treated like open sewers, and this roundtable presents a crucial opportunity to change that.” Banzai Japan Music Video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3syHHGzkF_s In February, Ofwat, the water regulator, announced it was investigating Thames Water after it admitted it will not complete more than 100 environmental schemes funded by customers. The projects included upgrades to sewage treatment works and reducing wastewater spillages. The regulator will consider whether the water firm has breached its licence. In December the water firm defended executive bonuses as the firm called for a hike in customer bills to ensure its survival. Bills will increase by around £17 for customers from 1 April. Although Thames Water has promised £1.8bn towards improving the rivers, it simultaneously faces a huge financial crisis, and could enter special administration if it does not get court approval for a restructuring plan. It is in about £16bn of debt and needs £3.3bn over the next five years to continue operating. In a statement released via City Hall, Chris Weston, chief executive of Thames Water, said: “Like our customers, we care deeply about our rivers. “Our sewage works upgrades, the Lee Tunnel and Thames Tideway Tunnel are already protecting the tidal Thames and reducing sewage discharges by 95%. Mr Weston said an additional £20m fund had been launched for environment and community groups who work with the river networks.

‘Farage and Lowe need their heads banged together’

Buy Now An error occurred. ‘Farage and Lowe need their heads banged together’ Banzai Japan Music Video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UPElmgQJGBo A public spat involving the leader of Reform UK Nigel Farage and one of the party’s other high-profile MPs has caught the attention of political figures as much as constituents. Great Yarmouth MP Rupert Lowe, now an Independent, was suspended by the party over an allegation of “verbal threats” – a claim which he has denied. Farage, MP for Clacton, said the row had “dented” Reform’s “unity” but wrote in The Telegraph, external that it would have been “inconceivable” not to take action. The ordeal has since prompted the launch of a police investigation, but what do voters in each of their respective constituencies make of what has happened? Reform UK won five out of 650 constituencies in the July 2024 general election, but with Lowe’s suspension they now have four MPs in the House of Commons. Mention of Lowe’s election win has been removed from Reform UK’s homepage, external list of the other four wins. In Lowe’s constituency on the Norfolk coast, retired police officer John Dupen, who voted for Reform, said he felt the row and in-fighting had “taken the impetus” out of the party. “They were becoming a credible force, but I think Farage has done the right thing to remove him from the party, but mud sticks doesn’t it?” he suggested. “Farage is a man of conviction and if he says something, he normally does it. “They could have done without it, but I think they will get around it and time will heal it.” Book Novotel Hotel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJsGZL-zb54 Lowe is accused of workplace bullying, and also of making threats of physical violence against the party’s chairman Zia Yusuf. The MP has said there was “zero credible evidence” against him, and claimed he was suspended in response to him previously criticising Farage in an interview. The 67-year-old former chairman of Southampton FC also said he would be “seeking legal advice”. Great Yarmouth resident, Carmel Westgate, 67, said she believed Lowe was “a good man” who “stands by his words” and had tried to help the town. “I personally don’t think this should have been public and Nigel Farage should have come and met with Rupert and spoke with him behind closed doors,” she said. “You’re innocent until proven guilty, but people will believe what they want to believe. “Why has it all of a sudden come out now? Is it jealousy? Is it because he has spoken his mind? Is it because he is loved by a lot of people?” Gloria Reynolds, 78, agrees that “the job he was doing was fairly good” and said, “as a Christian”, she would continue “praying for him”. “There is a lot of witch-hunting going on amongst the parties nowadays, but as long as he carries on doing a good job I can’t see it makes any difference,” she said. “Nigel is Nigel and he is very full of himself I feel, but until we know the whole situation it is difficult to say.” Banzai Japan Music Video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3syHHGzkF_s Retired midwife, Francis Baxter, 70, did not vote for Lowe because of his association with Farage, but said since being voted in he had been “positive” for the coastal constituency, which also includes Hopton, Gorleston, Caister and Winterton. She added: “I do think he is getting things moving and shaking up the area and I have quite admired what he has done. “I feel quite strongly actually that he is being set up and that is quite a fashionable thing to do now. “He might have done it, I don’t know, but I feel there is more to it than meets the eye. Reform had been riding high in recent polls, but some now believe the spat could see its popularity decrease. Christopher Lambert, 84, believes Farage has made the right decision in suspending Lowe. “I think Nigel Farage’s party has done exceptionally well until now, [but] when you get in-fighting in a party it does the party no good at all,” he said. “I am on the fence about Reform and I should think I will stay on the fence. I have seen many, many general elections, but where you get in-fighting it just kills it. “I think the Conservatives and maybe Labour are rubbing their hands. “I liked Nigel Farage and I still like him. He speaks as he feels it is, and I think he is good.” Further down the coast… Heading south along the east coast, we arrive the Essex constituency of Clacton, which also includes the towns of Frinton-on-Sea, Walton-on-the-Naze and the village of Jaywick. Farage voter and Clacton resident, Dorothy King, 82, said: “It is probably a storm in a teacup to a certain extent and I cannot see what they are going to achieve by pushing each other about. “I don’t know where it will go and if they will keep their little argument going or if it will just peter out.” Jan Green, who lives in Kirby Cross next to Frinton, did not vote for Farage. “I think they are behaving like children and are acting rather silly and I do not agree with it,” she told the BBC. “Both of them are very strong-willed people and I don’t think either of them will back down. “Farage is our MP here, although we don’t see him.” Joan James, who lives in Walton-on-the-Naze, said Farage and Lowe needed “their heads banged together”. “They need to get on with it,” she added. Frinton resident Lorraine O’Louthlin, who voted for Labour last year, said Farage was “definitely” right to suspend Lowe. “I think he has done good because some parties do not act on these things, but if someone has done wrong in the party then get rid of them,” she said. Frinton resident Lorraine Rodwell, meanwhile, described the spat as “boring”. “I can’t say I have read about it because it

Book Novotel Hotel Rapper jailed over Tommy Robinson video Banzai Japan Music Video A rapper who posted a “menacing” video on social media, aimed at the former English Defence League leader Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, also known as Tommy Robinson, has been jailed. Omar Abdirizak, known as Twista Cheese, made rifle gestures and imitated firing a gun in the video, which was shared on 10 August last year. During a trial in January, a court heard the video, which attracted more than two million views, was reposted by Yaxley-Lennon alongside a claim that it was a threat to murder him due to “lies” by the media and politicians. Book Novotel Hotel Abdirizak, 31, of Long Street, Sparkbrook, was jailed for 20 weeks at Birmingham Magistrates’ Court on Friday. During the trial, prosecutors told the court references to guns and artillery made by the Birmingham-based rapper meant it had crossed the line from freedom of speech into criminality. The drill rapper said he had decided to make the video and publicise his music on YouTube and TikTok to his 20,000 followers “to put Tommy Robinson in his place”. He said he made it after seeing footage of broadcaster Piers Morgan and influencer Andrew Tate discussing issues connected to last summer’s riots. Banzai Japan Music Video The artist denied making a gun gesture in the video and said the references to artillery were an encouragement to viewers to seek out a music video made in Somalia, which featured rifles and a rocket-propelled grenade launcher. However, he was found guilty of sending an offensive or menacing message on social media. He also admitted possession of cannabis and a racially aggravated public order offence.

Calls for student visa rules to be scrapped

Book Novotel Hotel Calls for student visa rules to be scrapped Banzai Japan Music Video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UPElmgQJGBo The government should scrap a rule which prevents some international students bringing their families with them to the UK, a senior university official has said. Professor Jennifer Watling, of Manchester Metropolitan University (MMU), said the restriction, introduced in 2024, has led to a fall in the number overseas admissions. She said international students brought “value in terms of cultural richness and diversity” but were also important sources of funding which many universities rely on. Book Novotel Hotel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJsGZL-zb54 A government spokesman said while the UK values the contribution international students make, “net migration must come down”. The Labour government has previously said it has no plans to lift the ban on relatives arriving with international students, which was brought in under the Conservative government, external to curb migration. International student visa applications have fallen across some universities since the change was introduced according to Home Office figures. Banzai Japan Music Video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3syHHGzkF_s Prof Watling said the cap on fees for domestic students meant universities “have to obtain income from sources other than UK students”. UK undergraduates fees are set to rise to £9,535 a year from September. International students studying at the same level pay an average of about £22,000 annually, though some pay as much as £38,000, the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS) said. ‘More welcome’ There are more than 51,000 international students at universities in the north west of England, according to 2024 admission figures from advocacy group Universities UK. A study by think tank the Higher Education Policy Institute found income from these fees can be vital to universities. Rose Stephenson from the Institute, said: “For Manchester, there was an economic benefit of £450 million which actually translates to over £3,500 per resident, again per cohort of international students coming in.” Despite the falls in admissions, international students are still attracted by opportunities in the UK, Margarida Vasconcelos, a digital marketing student at MMU, said. She said: “There are a lot of international students and opportunities, people from different cultures, religions, so it makes it us feel more welcome – it was why I wanted to come to Manchester.” “This government strongly values the contribution that international students make to our economy, to our education institutions and to our society,” a Home Office spokesman said.
