Family Homes Not HMOs
Over 800 'Houses In Multiple Occupation' (HMO) certificates have
been currently issued in the Bevendean/Moulsecoomb ward, the ward
includes Coombe road.
Families that have lived in this area all their lives are being
out-priced of the housing market by HMO developers.
That's the loss of over 800 affordable family homes that have been
converted into HMOs. With the vast majority being exclusively let
to University Students.
We believe it is the biggest threat to our community and to the
affordable family homes housing market in the City of Brighton.
There are, at present over 800 family homes that have been lost to
HMOs in the Bevendean & Moulsecoomb ward alone. With another 4
HMO proposals as I write.
Sign this Petition and join us in calling for a halt to this
practice.
