A landlord in Lancaster has been sentenced for putting the lives of a family at risk by failing to arrange an annual gas safety check.
Carole McMillan, 57, was prosecuted by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) after she failed to arrange for a registered engineer to visit a property on Birkdale Close in Scalehill.
Lancaster Magistrates' Court heard McMillan had been renting the house out to a couple and their two young children, aged five years and nine months old. An investigation was launched on 27 April 2010 when it was discovered that gas appliances at the house had not been checked since 6 February 2009.
