'People's quality of life is being hit by increasing trend in Greater Manchester town - they're so fed up, they're selling their homes'
Families are ‘putting their putting their homes up for sale’ as they feel that increasing numbers of 'houses of multiple occupation' are impacting their quality of life, councillors have heard. Bolton council is to look into implementing tighter controls on house conversions after a motion put before the authority described ‘the growing negative sentiment around HMOs within dense residential areas’.
“Many of these are in traditional terraced streets, where generations of families have lived, but are now putting their homes up for sale as they feel that their quality of life been impacted so much. “Council appreciates that there is sometimes a demand for HMOs for transient workers, students and residents needing short-term housing solutions, but acknowledges the growing negative sentiment locally around HMOs within dense residential areas.
She added that councils Manchester Salford and Trafford both have the article 4 directive in place covering the entirety of their boroughs. Other Greater Manchester councils have specific areas within their boroughs covered. He said: “Far to often we see our highways department say they have no issues whatsoever with any HMO despite there being no on street parking. “One eight-bed HMO is coming to us shortly in Blackrod and they can see no issues.
