The council has housing officers and rent officers, that look after all our council housing. Officers cover patches so your officer is linked to your address.
There are sometimes a number of council owned garages available to rent at competitive rates. Garages are for personal private use only and not for commercial activities.
Sometimes, neighbouring gardens and land can be left to deteriorate. It can become unsightly or attract other environmental crimes, such as fly-tipping.
Empty council properties are usually awaiting repair, redecoration or re-letting and we are keen to ensure they stay empty so that someone on the waiting list has the opportunity to find a home.
The Regulator of Social Housing is creating a new system for assessing how well social housing landlords in England are doing at providing good quality homes and services.
