Council to Fill Housing Void Left by RtB Sales

The plans also include continued significant investment in existing council homes to maintain their quality and sustainability, and a new programme - 'Decent Neighbourhoods' - which the council says will complement the decent homes programme and improve residents’ quality of life. The plan also focuses on value for money for tenants and leaseholders paying rent and fees. Read more on 24dash.
