Babergh officers to star in TV reality show

Last year BBC 1 broadcast a series of programmes about the work of housing officers across the country.  The show, called Housing Enforcers, was fronted by consumer champion, Matt Allwright.   

Allwright was filmed working alongside council officers as they went about their daily work, seeking out rogue landlords and tenants, resolving housing issues, organising pest control, and dealing with neighbours from hell.

Well it seems that the programme was a success and that another series is planned.  This time some of the action is taking place close to home.

Employees and councillors have been told not to be alarmed if film crews are spotted in and around the council offices in coming weeks.  It seems that housing staff from Babergh and Mid Suffolk are to feature in the programme and will be filmed as they go about their duties.

The housing team do a good job, and I am looking forward to seeing them starring in the second series of Housing Enforcers later in the year.
