Last week the NLC organised a demonstration outside Westminster to raise awareness of our campaign but to also to ensure government do not forget exsisting leaseholder's already stuck in the Leasehold Scandal.
We also handed in this petition to Number 10. We have decided to keep the petition open so you can still continue to sign.
Our demonstration in London was a massive success and was well supported by MP's including the Shadow Housing Secretary John Healey.
We thought it was important we captured the day, therefore we have released this video.
Please share it far and wide. We need to reach out to leaseholder's nationally. We need to let them know they are not alone.

6 days after we handed our petition into number 10 the government announced a Leasehold Reform inquiry. What this will entail is not yet clear but they are asking for evidence to be submitted to them by Friday 7th September.
The Committee is particularly concerned with what more can be done for existing leaseholders, in both houses and flats, affected by onerous terms such as high service and administrative charges, and large increases in ground rents.
The Committee is inviting submissions on:
The adequacy of the Government’s programme of work on residential leasehold reform, including (a) its application to existing leaseholders in both houses and flats and (b) whether further reforms should be introduced;
What support and government intervention can be provided to existing leaseholders, in both houses and flats, affected by onerous leasehold terms;
and
What are the implications of providing such support and government intervention to these existing leaseholders.

We must continue to keep the pressure on from all angles. It may be summer recess now in Parliament but this Campaign can not afford to go quiet.
