Stop selective licensing of landlords in the UK
"How will this scheme alter or enhance the powers that the Council already possesses to deal with rogue landlords and anti social behavior?"
Sadly I think most councils adopt these schemes for the wrong reasons; they think ti will be an answer to their financial worries but too late they find out that they can't use the funds raised for anything else but to administer the scheme. They can't use it to fund enforcement or to employ more staff; they can't use it to save jobs that otherwise would have been lost and the only route to income is to find reasons to fine landlords who join the scheme.
Its the political version of pyramid selling. Take a lot of money off the 'marks' for a product that doesn't really exist.
This scheme should be abolished.
