Require councils to conduct annual survey of all local properties.

Closed 46 signatures

What the petition asks

We believe an annual survey of residential and business properties would allow local council to establish empty accommodation and unlawful businesses who are not registered or paying tax or national insurance contributions.
This could help free up housing and ensure business comply with legislation.
