  This scheme would be most welcome on the Folkestone road.

  Hopefully we don't have a property like this locally.

  All the more reason to bring in a licensing system.

  Our councillors have always been against licensing landlords even though their register of interests shows only one or two having an extra property to the one they live in. Just a pity this doesn't apply to all landlords.

  Landlords should be made to join a register by law, I can see no plausible reason not to unless they have something to hide.

  I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.
