A new approach to carrying out both electrical testing and condition reports in tenants’ properties will ensure those who live in council properties are even safer moving forward.
A proactive cross-party approach to the Council’s financial sustainability will be taken to manage the challenging budget situation which Sheffield City Council, like many other local authorities, faces.
Over the past 13 years, Sheffield, along with many other local authorities, has seen significant reductions in funding from central government. Alongside this, demand for services is rising.
The hard work and dedication of our Housing Service staff to improve the quality of services to tenants has been recognised as Tenant Satisfaction Measures (TSMs) continued to increase during the third quarter of the year.
Proactive steps are being taken to ensure the Council remains able to set out a balanced budget in the long-term, including transforming services to run in a more sustainable and efficient way.
A proactive review of the way council houses are allocated to those who need them is taking place – and now the people of Sheffield are being asked to give their views on how that should be done.
Help, advice, and support is in place in Sheffield for anyone facing financial hardship or who has concerns about paying their rent or mortgage due to the cost of living crisis.
