Streets ahead - 2004 - Inside Housing 21(14) 9 April 2004, 20-21(2) .

Examines how four local authorities are leading the way in supporting private sector housing renewal, which is moving up the government housing priority list. Government believes that it is primarily the responsibility of owners to keep private sector homes in decent condition but recognises that vulnerable groups do not have the resources for this. Housing renewal is one of 10 beacon themes for 2004-05 assisting the spread of good practice among local authorities. Looks at varied initiatives by councils in Wigan, Leicester, Bristol and Bolton.
