Welcome to This Week at theEHP, a summary of the articles that appeared on the site over the previous week.
This week at theEHP we report on a new poll service on theEHP, Newham Council’s plans to become a private landlord and lots of environmental health prosecutions.
Having you say has never been easier with the launch of our new poll service. Periodically, we will launch a poll on the most popular articles on theEHP. Alternatively, if you have ideas for a poll email the details to [email protected]. When a poll ends the statistics will be posted on the site. There are lots of options for how polls can be configured so we should be able to cater to most requests. The poll can be found in the side bar of the website, so have you say.
The popular Foundations in Law Series has been updated with Part 12: Explaining the Housing Act 1988.
And finally, Don’t forget to share this newsletter with a friend. You can use the ‘Forward to a Friend’ option at the bottom of the newsletter or share articles through Twitter and Facebook.
Looking forward to seeing you at theEHP.
