Friday's 'Courier' covered residents' concerns about the extent of the growth of houses in multiple occupation in some streets in the West End, following the matter being discussed at the Licensing Committee on Thursday. As the report in the Courier mentioned, I have welcomed the introduction on HMO limits for both planning and licensing purposes. I recently requested updates about how the limit policy is working and I'll report back to residents on feedback. I've been away in Sussex this weekend as my long-standing friend Julie had her 40th birthday party in Wivelsfield - in the village hall - a lovely village on the East/West Sussex border. A super night and the weather would have made you think it was June or July. Anyway, a few photos from Saturday above! If you click on the headline above, you can read the Wivelsfield community website - Julie's husband Colin (who has been a friend of mine for ... well, forever) is a Parish councillor.
