I would like to assure your correspondents (Your Say, April 23) that the council is not currently contacting private landlords and letting agents about its forthcoming selective landlord licensing scheme, but we will send a full briefing letter and online application information in June to every relevant landlord and agent in Croydon so they can get ready for when the scheme begins from October 1.

Executive director, Place Croydon Council
