The Centre for Social Justice (CSJ) has published a report that warns that some coastal resorts have never recovered from decades of decline. The report, Turning the Tide, examines five of the UK’s seaside towns: Rhyl in North Wales, Margate, Clacton-on-Sea, Great Yarmouth and Blackpool. The report highlights that with less demand for hotels and guesthouses, a large share of this accommodation has been bought up by private landlords and converted into HMOs. These areas now have high levels of HMOs that provide cheap accommodation for vulnerable people. Read the article and get the report here.
