335 empty homes were brought back into use across the borough.

685 new affordable homes were completed.

Work began on site to deliver 845 new homes directly through Council investment.

98 per cent of Council tenants were satisfied with housing management services provided by Council partner ForHousing.

91 per cent of fly-tipped rubbish was removed within five to 10 days of it being reported, an increase from 66 per cent in the previous year.

Nine Green Flags have been maintained by the Council at parks and green spaces.

The percentage of A roads that needed structural maintenance reduced from 1.5 per cent to 1.3 per cent, while the percentage of B and C roads needing structural maintenance reduced from 6 per cent to 5.3 per cent. These are better than the national averages of 4 per cent of A roads and 6 per cent of B and C roads.
