As part of the agreement, tenants in part of Nottinghamshire are asked 'not routinely dry clothes on radiators'
A Nottinghamshire council has dismissed criticism on proposed new rules for housing tenants after the local MP said that residents felt as though they were living in North Korea. Ashfield District Council is consulting on changes to its tenancy agreement that is signed by all those living in its council housing.
One of the clauses in the agreement states that: "You, people living with you and any visitors to the property must not use social media or any other form of communication to make false statements, abuse, threaten, harass or be derogatory towards council employees, contractors, agents or councillors. Communication includes telephone calls, text messages, e-mails or posting comments on social media. This condition applies wherever the communication takes place.
"Lee Anderson, the current Conservative MP, should know this as he was a Labour councillor and an active member of the Labour administration and voted for the changes. This has not been done to protect Tom Hollis. This is an example of Lee Anderson being desperate to deflect attention away from this disastrous Tory government which is damaging the people of Ashfield."
Mr Anderson said: "Rather than sending round the radiator police, what the council needs to do is to focus on sorting out some of the idiot nuisance tenants who are causing disruption for their neighbours."
