In April 2023 we successfully prosecuted a rogue landlord for the state of his properties on the WestLea Estate in Clowne.

The judge handed down a 10-month prison sentence after he heard of a catalogue of problems including Category 1 hazard for excess cold and Category 2 hazards relating to damp and mould and the defendant (Mr Ambler) had breached a Criminal Behaviour Order. 

After this case was heard we received a request from a TV company to take part in the BBC programme Defenders.

Council officials took part in the filming and we are delighted to say that it will be aired on BBC1 on Tuesday 28 November at 10am.

You will be able to watch the programme live or catch up on it via the iPlayer.
