Grant Shapps has hailed the rapid and impressive progress that has been made to improve the nation's social housing stock, with the numbers of homes considered 'non decent' down by more than a quarter. New figures show the Government ahead of schedule to deliver the improvements that tenants need and deserve. The numbers of non decent council homes fell by more than a quarter over the past year. Councils have fitted 110,000 new kitchens, 82,000 new bathrooms and 126,000 new central heating systems into their properties. This dramatic fall now means that 93 per cent of all social homes now meet the Decent standard - more than the 92 per cent predicted a year ago, and up from 90 per cent of all homes in 2009.
