up to three bigger councils in the county. Please let those in your
wards know about this. They have until Tuesday 5 August to respond
to the government consultation.

Annual Report to Tenants
Our 2024-25 Annual Report to
Tenants has been published. It highlights how tenant feedback is
driving real improvements in their housing services.
This report reflects our
ongoing commitment to transparency, accountability, and continuous
improvement. We're working hand in hand with tenants to build a
housing service that's safer, more responsive, and truly meets
their needs. We recognise the challenges our residents face and are
fully committed to responding with empathy, urgency, and care.
While we're proud of the progress we've made, we know there's still
more to do.
