HorNet – Stop the Rot! Adopt the Lot!

Helen Goodman MP has organised a Westminster Hall debate on estate charges. It is on Tuesday 22nd January at 4.30pm. It is not too late to email your MP to ask if they could support this initiative to put pressure on the housing minister to act and address the problems we are facing.

We are all grateful to Helen Goodman for continuing to push for change and hope that other MPs with constituents suffering from unregulated estate charges will support her.

The second reading of her 10 minute rule bill is also due this week, on Friday 25th!

You can use the link on this page to easily email your MP.

You will be able to watch the debate on parliament TV or read the transcript once it is published in Hansard.

We thank all our members for submitting details of their estates – keep them coming!

We are starting to use the data to support our campaign, as there are nearly 400 estates on our database now. If anyone would like an up to date spread sheet extract (CVS file) to use in campaigning please drop us a line using our contact form.
