Around 30 members of the Clarendon Residents’ Group met with their councillors, Cllrs Chris King, Colin Quinney and Geraldine Cullinan, representatives from the police, and Warwick District Council’s portfolio holder for Safer Communities, Leisure and Environment, Cllr Judy Falp, to discuss the issue at St Patrick’s Irish Club last week

Members of a Leamington residents group are demanding action against the "over-concentration" of houses in multiple occupation (HMOs) in their area.

Around thirty members of the Clarendon Residents’ Group met with their councillors, Cllrs Chris King, Colin Quinney and Geraldine Cullinan, representatives from the Police, and Warwick District Council’s (WDC) portfolio holder for safer communities, leisure and environment Cllr Judy Falp, at St Patrick’s Irish Club last Tuesday (October 18), to discuss the issue.

Group members had also hoped that WDC Leader Cllr Andrew Day and chief executive Chris Elliott, as well as the portfolio holder for planning Cllr John Cooke and The Universoy of Warwick’s director of engagement Andrew Todd would also attend but none were able to do this.
