Rejected petition Keep small local shops in villages as shops
Ensure fair and equitable treatment of shopkeepers from landlords. To stop landlords from turning village shops into flats.
More details
Currently in the local area we have seen landlords force out shopkeepers of their rental properties by unlawful practices. With the goal of turning the shops into residential properties.
Landlords and managing agents know they can make more money from residential properties and they are driving out the much needed local shops.
