Midlands North West MEP says proposed new housing laws could benefit parts of local region

 

A Midlands North West MEP is hopeful that that proposed European housing laws will benefit parts of the North West.

 

The European Commission has published its EU Affordable Housing Act.

 

Under the proposals governments and local authorities would be able to ban short term rentals like Airbnb in areas of so-called "housing stress".

 

Those are areas where there are not enough places for local people to live because of holiday lets, second homes or empty houses.

 

MEP Ciaran Mullooly says the laws will only apply to areas where there is a housing strain
