Liverpool's city wide licensing to 'go ahead'

It appears as if Liverpool City Councils plans for a city wide landlord licensing scheme will squeeze through the door just before it closes.

Despite the Government's intention to regulate Councils powers to introduce landlord licensing schemes, Liverpool’s controversial city-wide scheme will be still allowed to go ahead.

The Liverpool Echo reports council cabinet member, Cllr Ann O’Byrne, has confirmed the government has given the 'go ahead' for the scheme -

“We have had confirmation from the government that Liverpool’s landlord licensing scheme is not affected by the recently announced changes because we have already made a decision to introduce it.”
