The Council is asking letting agents in Durham city to agree a voluntary code to cut the number of to let boards being placed around the City.

We discussed this recently on the Housing Panel of the Durham Area Action Partnership (see here for more info on AAPs).

I personally believe that the number of  To Let boards in the City really make the place look a mess. Some letting companies do a great job and don’t even put up boards. I don’t see why all can’t do the same and work with the Council, University and other organisations to keep our City tidy.
