Rotherham council house tenants can now own guns


RESIDENTS in council houses can now own guns after RMBC refreshed its tenancy agreement.
It follows the first review in eight years — the last was when Rotherham’s social housing was run by 2010 Ltd.
Cllr Dominic Beck, Cabinet member for housing, said: “Previously, the council didn’t allow tenants to hold firearms in their possession in a council house.
“That has been reviewed and it’s felt that’s not right and proper, providing the tenant has the necessary licence.”
