The
company which owns a property in a state of severe disrepair on Spring
St in Rishton has been found guilty in court for the second time
recently of failing to comply with a notice to repair leaking gutters,
leading to fines and costs totalling £2445.
Dairmiles
Development Ltd, of Sutherland House, 70-78 West Hendon, Broadway,
London was found guilty of failing to comply with a notice served under
section 59 of the Building Act 1984 at Blackburn Magistrates court for
the second time. The company has now put the property up for sale.
Cllr
Clare Cleary, Cabinet Member for Housing, said, “This property at 82
Spring Street has been empty since 1985 and is in a state of severe
disrepair. We are serious about bringing derelict empty property back
into use and in this case the owners left us no choice but to take them
back to court again to get the work done, as they have ignored the
notice requiring the leaking gutters to be fixed."
Clare
added, "This is one of several enforcement actions which are being
carried out on Spring Street to support a half a million pound
regeneration scheme that is underway there, which will see the whole
street enhanced with the front of the properties cleaned, painted and
repointed, along with some new windows and doors.”
