Two bits of good news for Newham’s landlord councillors.
Beckon lead councillor Ayesha Chowdhury has added yet another property to her extensive buy-to-let portfolio. The acquisition of 58 Alma Street, London E15 1QA means she now owns 19 homes in the borough.
And the planning case against Plaistow South councillor Ahmed Noor has been closed. He complied with the terms of the enforcement notice served on him at the end of April.
It remains to be seen if further action will be taken against him for operating a private rented property without a licence.

if councillor noor complied with enforcement does that mean he admits liability for the offence if so makes him guilty of bringing the council into disrepute ,how can you get away with that and still remain in office .
I note today in the newham magazine another unlicensed landlord fined for letting people live in squalor and newham paying benefits to him some ten thousand pounds,mayor wales says we will not tolerate this kind of behaviour in our borough but pay unlicensed councillors ten thousand pounds for doing the same ,what difference.
