Council Housing Asset Management Strategy Consultation
This consultation has now closed.
Thank you to everyone who took part.
The consultation findings are now available:
The findings were discussed by the Council's Places Overview and Scrutiny Committee on 22 January 2024 and the draft strategy will go to Cabinet 11 September 2024 for approval and will be available middle of September 2024.
Background
The new draft Council Housing Asset Management Strategy sets out how the Council, working with its strategic housing partner ForHousing, will maintain and improve its housing stock. The strategy details how we will make sure our stock meets the requirements set out in the Building Safety Act 2022 as well as meeting all the requirements around gas, electrical and fire safety. The strategy also proposes a programme of refurbishment works, measures to tackle climate change and an overview of our plan to continue to build new housing to help meet the housing needs of our residents.
The strategy also compliments and supports our council housing vision statement, namely:
We aim to provide affordable homes of the right type and quality to meet the housing needs of those who are unable to meet their own needs in the housing market now and in the future. We will work in partnership to support our tenants to prosper and improve their wellbeing and ensure neighbourhoods and communities are sustainable, safe and pleasant.
We would like to hear your views on our draft Council Housing Asset Management Strategy. We are keen to hear what you think of our aim and key objectives, as well as the commitments we will make to you.
