National Organisation of Residents Associations
The network was founded by a group of town centre residents' associations in January 2003 in response to widespread concern that the environment in which their members lived was being threatened. Planning, licensing, traffic management, car parking and community safety are all matters on which members seek help and advice.

The National HMO Lobby
The National HMO Lobby is an association of some fifty community groups in thirty towns in all parts of the UK, who are concerned to ameliorate the impact of concentrations of houses in multiple occupation (HMOs) on their communities.
The government estimated in 2004 that there were about 640,000 HMOs in England alone. If they are not properly managed, they can give rise to a whole range of problems. Poor management of individual HMOs can give rise to problems for tenants and neighbours. Poor management of numbers of HMOs can give rise to problems for whole communities.

Our concern was that there was no single UK resource for interesting features and practical advice on this subject.
Our features and articles are written by professional journalists and experts - who have a particular interest, or a background in this area.
