Dear all,

We're making progress raising visibility on this. The interview came about as a result of the Change.org Survey. 

Points covered were:

 - Bringing across-the-community private and public stakeholders together. (There's an excellent Residential homes case study I hope to publish on Friday.)

 - promoting a variety of finance assisting initiatives,

 - energetically promoted. - NYC/Others working with charities dedicated to social housing

 - Though it is also necessary to get more persuasive on enforcement

The Petition’s aim is to encourage the coalition of the willing that certainly exists around the accelerated employment of Empty Homes Officers.

Greatest Hits Radio are going to come back for updates on this campaign. I look forward to sharing the case study on Friday. 

There's around 80 empty homes in Weaponness and Ramshill at present and if we can bring these down by a third, focusing on the ones empty for longest, it'll make a big difference to our Ward.

So this represents good progress I feel.

And let's get more signatures on that petition! https://chng.it/Wbpx8Tqj4k
