Project name Contact name Address Ongoing Housing Work John Corkey Belfast City Council City Hall Linenhall Street Belfast BT1 5GS Telephone number 01232 270305 Brief description of project Objectives District Councils can serve notices on the owners of dwellings where conditions are compromising the health and safety of occupants. It is the privately rented sector which suffers proportionately more disrepair and unfitness than other sectors. District Councils can also act to protect people’s rights in relation to harassment and unlawful eviction. The physical as well as the mental health benefits associated with the protection of people’s health, safety and welfare in their homes is self-evident, however many people are unaware of these local government services. As above. 44
