The Autumn South West Empty Homes Forum is on Wednesday 17 November 2010.

This forum promises to be another informative and enjoyable event, with a good range of topics on the agenda. As well as the usual Agency reports, Mark Siddall from Norwich City Council will be speaking about EDMOs. We will also be joined by Chris Skinner of Great Yarmouth Borough Council who specialises in CPOs. There will be a presentation from David Gibbens of the Empty Homes Network who will feedback on the current government review of empty homes and we will hopefully be joined by Cllr Ric Pallister of South Somerset District Council who is chairing the Westminster Briefing on Maximising the Use of Empty Homes in October.

The forum will be held once again in the conference facilities at Sandy Park (Exeter Chiefs Rugby Club). The venue is about a 10 minute walk from the Sowton & Digby train station and is set just off the M5 at junction 30. We hope that you will very much enjoy spending the day there again. There are parking facilities on site for those coming by car and there will once again be an excellent lunch.

The cost of the forum will be the same as the autumn forum at £60.00 + VAT = £70.50 per person, which includes a 2 course lunch, and refreshments throughout the day.

The forum is always popular, so please book as soon as possible to avoid disappointment! A detailed agenda will follow in the near future.
