The London HHSRS working group can take no responsibility for any negative outcomes from service of these notices/orders.

Minor amendments were made to these notices on 12th April and loaded onto this site on the 19th April, so you may want to check you have the latest version. These are all shown as version 3a amended 29th December 2006, in particular the Orders have been amended.

1. I have just looked at the overcrowding notice Sec 139 and para 3 is somewhat confusing and makes no reference to Schedule 2 rooms not to be used for sleeping purposes.

2.Looking in the blue Practical Guide to the HA 2004, page 230 para 11.6, it says that documents have to be produced at a specific place and time and can be copied.It also says in the notes on the HHSRS notice 2 (b) that the time and place for production needs to be specified.

The notice on the HHSRS website says that the information must be forwarded with 14 days.

Whilst I appreciate it may be easier for someone who is some distance away to provide a copy, the Act doesn't seem to allow for this albeit that Section B may work and we may get copies through the post but if we don't I don't see that we would be successful in a prosecution if the notice wasn't worded correctly.

Please see the note on the right regarding possible errors in these notices; Added Oct 2007.
