We believe officers should be aware of the trends in the markets they regulate. To help we now report on the Buy-to-let index which details trends in the private sector rental market. This will keep EHPs and Tenancy Relations Officers up to date of the conditions in the market.
Amazon has been very popular with site users. We recently realised that if you wanted a product that was not on advertised on the site, it was more than a hover & click away. You will now find an Amazon search widget in the side bar of the site to help you quickly find what you want.
At the time of writing, the new Clays Handbook of Environmental Health is available from £114.71 and Environmental Health Procedures is available from £70.00. These Amazon deals do not last long, so if you are interested buy now.
The Wolverhampton Uni Book List is now complete. Thanks again to David Williams and his colleagues for providing the list.
