PRIVATE landlords are invited to a one-off event by Bolton at Home's Private Landlord Team.

It is being held to encourage them to sign up to a pilot scheme working with responsible landlords in five target areas, including Oxford Grove, Brooklyn Street, Tonge, the Haulgh and Great Lever.

The aim is to promote good practice in tenancy management and improve property standards in the private rented sector. The event will be held at the De Vere Whites Hotel at the Reebok Stadium, Horwich, from 6pm to 8pm on Tuesday, August 10. Speakers will include representatives from the council, and the Private Landlords Project Team.
