Empty House in Retford

Empty house or bungalow, reported anonymously at 19:48, Wed 6 May 2009; the map was not used so pin location may be inaccurate
Sent to Bassetlaw District Council 2 minutes later

This house has now been empty for 5 years. Previously owned by an elderly gentleman, the house is in desperate need of repair and modernisation. Very little work has been done since the house was bought five years ago after the elderly gentleman passed away.

The overgrown garden has become subject to fly tipping over the years. The house and garden is a complete eyesore in general and is bringing down the whole area. It has become a very dangerous playground for local children.

I will send one of my officers to investigate further.

Although the property has not yet been returned to use, the owner has undertaken considerable work on the property and it's general appearance has greatly improved. Things are heading in the right direction.
