Unanimous vote by councillors to take a deeper look at Airbnbs, to see if more regulation is needed.

 

On the 16th July 2024, Green councillor Ellen McLeay asked that officials prepare a report aimed at giving the council more power to deal with the issue.

Ms McLeay said families were being "priced out" of the city centre and short-term lets were creating "ghost neighbourhoods".

 

Ms McLeay cited a University College London study which found that areas of the capital with the most Airbnb listings tended to have higher weekly rents and a lack of affordable housing, according to the Local Democracy Reporting Service.

 

Holiday rental sites Airbnb and Vrbo currently list 4,500 Brighton and Hove properties, she said.

Message from Cllr Peter Atkinson;

 

Notwithstanding the government's decision to press ahead on limiting access to the Winter Fuel Payment, I thought it would be useful to remind people how to claim Pension Credit as there is a very large number of older people who don't claim when they could and this would then give them access to the Winter Fuel Payment. Here's the link for those who are able to use the internet https://www.gov.uk/pension-credit Or, for those who don't use the internet, you can apply by phone.

A friend or family member can call if the person cannot use the phone.
