Current Consultations
Below are the current and recently closed consultations we are carrying out to improve how we deliver services to tenants and leaseholders.
Draft Housing Investment Plan
The Council is creating a Housing Investment Plan to guide the way it spends its budget on maintaining and improving Council homes and estates over the next five years.
The draft plan outlines various investment options for existing and new Council homes, along with their costs. However, we must make choices on spending, and we are seeking your views on what is important to you.
Although there are choices to be made, we will always:
- ensure homes are safe, complying with all regulations, including fire safety and carrying out compliance inspections such as annual gas boiler servicing
- ensure homes meet the Government's Decent Homes Standard
- use proceeds from Right to Buy sales to fund new Council homes
As choices will need to be made, we would welcome your views, such as how often to replace kitchens and bathrooms, which will impact other spending areas.
After the consultation, we will finalise the Housing Investment Plan, which will guide these investments for the next five years. We will also develop and publish three-year capital programs to show where we will be investing and what improvements we will be delivering.
The survey will take 5 minutes to complete. The consultation will close on Thursday 23 January 2025.

Rechargeable Repairs Survey
We recently consulted on the new Rechargeable Repairs Policy, to make sure we have a fair, transparent and consistent approach to when we do and don't apply recharges.
The consultation covered:
- what a repair recharge is
- when it would be applied including in an emergency
- what the costs are
- the process so anyone knows what to expect
- how we consider any exceptional circumstances to the situation and household (i.e. when we may not apply the charge or how it is charged).
This consultation closed on 29 November 2024. The outcome of the consultation and any changes made will be shared on the website and directly to those who participated.
Thank you for sharing your views.
