Over the next five years, Bassetlaw District Council plans to invest a total of £72.65m into the homes of its tenants to ensure they are safe, comfortable and meet the Government’s ‘Decent Homes’ standard.
In some cases, the Council plan to go beyond this standard and over the next 12 months, a total of £11.5m will be spent in five key areas that include: Delivering Decent Homes; Maximising Energy Efficiency; Building Safety; Regeneration of Estates; and Developing New Homes.
The Council currently owns and manages more than 6,900 properties and this announcement is part of Bassetlaw’s 30 year Business Plan for the Housing Revenue Account, which was agreed at the Council’s Cabinet meeting in January 2021.
