**Carmarthenshire’s Community Debate: HMOs in Focus** 🏠🔍
Carmarthenshire is buzzing with debate as the growth of Houses of Multiple Occupation (HMOs) is sparking concerns over community impact. Councillor Terry Davies has stepped up, putting HMOs under the spotlight by championing a new group to explore the issue further.
While HMOs might offer affordable housing solutions, they also bring challenges like increased pressure on local services and community tensions. Areas such as Tyisha, Glanymor, and Bigyn in Llanelli are feeling the strain, with residents keen to see changes.
In response, a dedicated task and finish group is being assembled, featuring local councillors, Dyfed-Powys Police, and other external organisations. This initiative aims to investigate the effects of HMOs and propose effective solutions to the council’s cabinet.
Councillor Davies believes this collaborative approach is key to addressing residents’ worries swiftly and efficiently. The group’s efforts will go hand-in-hand with Carmarthenshire’s ongoing consultation on additional HMO licensing schemes, making sure these homes are safe and regulated.
In a recent council meeting, requests for an up-to-date HMO register were highlighted. This would ensure transparency and help manage potential unregistered HMOs. The council is committed to updating their databases and ensuring that properties meet necessary safety standards.
Stay tuned for updates as Carmarthenshire takes a comprehensive look at HMOs, aiming for solutions that satisfy both community needs and housing demands. Your voice matters—let’s shape our community together! 🌟
