‘The mountain of rubbish at the #HMO next door is now at such a height the tenants walk on the balcony & simply toss rubbish over it.

The council, the landlord & G8 all know about the situation.’

It is utterly depressing'

'Many residents are leaving that can, only for the house to be bought by "out of town investors" to turn into more HMO rooms. House values have plummeted and many of us are now trapped surrounded by HMOs'

Sharing the Concern

There are a large number of #HMO houses on Caxton St and Longman Rd... we moved from the area due to antisocial behaviour... This also affected the price of our house due to the area. 26/03
