I READ the article about Rossendale Council cracking down on landlords who fail to maintain their properties.

I was tickled to read it as they might like to look closer to home.

I contacted them on June 13 to advise them about a property with a boarded-up door and a suite in the garden.

I was told they were aware of the suite. It has been there for months as has the one two doors away.

I checked today and they are still there, a real eyesore. Come on Rossendale, less backslapping and more action.
