We contribute to Privately Rented Housing by assisting with financial arrangements and with legislation to improve housing conditions.

Our strategy

Our Community Strategy, Building for Success, identifies 4 Community Ambitions:

1. Balancing economic prosperity with a sustainable quality of life

2. Being a healthy and well educated community

3. Supporting and caring for people who need help

4. Being a community where everyone feels safe, welcome and respected

Our 2 key objectives are:

• To maintain the good health of the population through prevention of illness and access to quality health and social care facilities

• To reduce crime and the fear of crime

The strategy goes on to detail more explicit actions, relevant to housing, such as: Community Development, Crime and the Fear of Crime, Care for the Environment, Health and Social Care Services, Health Improvement and Wellbeing, and Providing Homes for All.
