LEASEHOLD CAMPAIGNERS WRITE TO GOVERNMENT FOR URGENT ACTION NOW
On Friday 22nd November the National Leasehold Campaign, End Our Cladding Scandal (EOCS) and Leasehold Knowledge Partnership (LKP) wrote an 'open letter' to the Secretary of State of Housing, Communities and Local Government to stress the urgency to reLEASE Leaseholders and deliver Leasehold Reform which currently leaves millions trapped and suffering.  Dear Angela & Matthew, Millions of Leaseholders have been in a state of ‘Leasehold Limbo’ since 2017 through years of broken promises and snail pace reforms.

Great day of #leasehold coverage on BBC yesterday. Heartbreaking stories from leaseholders. So much more needs to be done to end the horrors of this antiquated and abusive tenure. NLC team front and centre as always. @nlc-movement.bsky.social @cathnlc.bsky.social

I called the help desk with computer trouble. The technician came. She thinks the issue is with the mouse.
