This year we will be spending £10.9 million between April 2018 and March 2019 on improving homes and neighbourhoods and are planning on spending a further £34.4 million between April 2019 and March 2023.
The improvement works planned to be carried out over the next five years will be completed in a priority order. An outline of the planned programmes will be published in this section for 2018/19. Further information will be published as the programme of work is scheduled.
This investment includes:
- Works to neighbourhood estates and the environment – open spaces, roads, car parks and drains
- Works to gardens and boundaries – garden paths, walls, fences and gates
- External works to homes – new windows, doors, render and roofing
- Internal works to homes – boilers, wirings, kitchens and bathrooms
The improvement works planned to be carried out over the next 5 years will be completed in a priority order.
The order is based on the following:
- Health, safety and legal compliance
- Building components coming to the end of their life
- Borderline WHQS passes that would benefit from further improvement
- Reducing the demand for responsive repairs
- Improvements in thermal comfort (highest weather exposure first)
- Improvements in energy efficiency and reduction in utility costs for tenants to reduce fuel poverty.
The order is also influenced by:
- Tenant satisfaction with the neighbourhood
- Stock turnover and number of empty homes
- Demand for homes
- Indices of multiple deprivation indicators
- Poor energy efficiency of homes
An outline of the planned programmes for 2017/18 is published below. Further information will be published as the programme of work is scheduled.
