Another council is conducting a consultation process aimed at renewing its existing landlord licensing for a further five years.

Sefton council has had a selective licensing regime in place in the Bootle area since March 2018 as well as an additional HMO licensing scheme for privately rented property situated in parts of Seaforth, Waterloo, Brighton-Le-Sands and central Southport.

With the current schemes due to end on February 28 next year, the council is now carrying out a 12-week consultation on its proposal to extend them until February 2028.

You can take part in the consultation here.
