 Bassetlaw District Council is leading the way with its approach to tackling the problem of long-term empty shops as one of the early adopters of the High Street Rental Auction (HSRA) powers.

Bassetlaw District Council is inviting residents and businesses to share their views on proposed new powers to target drivers causing anti-social behaviour.
