A local landlord has pleaded guilty to four counts of breaching a Criminal Behaviour Order and told to expect to pay a significant amount of compensation and costs.

For a number of years, we have been working with residents and landlords on the West Lea estate in Clowne to help improve the area, which included extensive enforcement actions for rubbish on gardens and the poor conditions of privately rented housing.

During inspections, our officers found one of Mr Ambler’s properties was infested with rats and due to the major defects found, the rats continued to gain access to the property.
