As rent and house prices continue to rise, Southwark
Council is keeping to its pledge to keep council rents below £100 per week on
average. With almost half of Southwark's households earning less than £15,000
and over 36,000 households living in council homes, every effort must be made
to help those who struggle just to afford a roof over their head, particularly
in London where rents are extremely high. A fine balance must be sought in
ensuring that rent is kept low but that enough income is generated into the
housing revenue account (HRA) to safeguard the cost of frontline council
services. Read more on the Southwark Council website.
