2025/26 Council Housing Rent Consultation

Overview

Every year we ask tenants to give their views on the rent they pay.

In February this year, councillors agreed to increase rent by 7% every year, for five years, starting in April 2024. This longer-term strategy will give tenants more certainty about the rent they pay and will help us to better plan our spending to improve homes and services.  

Now we’d like to hear from you on how you’d like your rent to be spent. 

The 2025/26 Council Housing Rent Consultation information document provides information on how tenants rent is currently spent and the investment priorities planned for the next 10 years. We hope that it will help you to answer the questions in this online survey.

The same information will also be included in the next issue of the Tenants Courier, which will be posted to all Council tenants in late October/ early November.  Please use that to respond by post if you would prefer.  If you complete this online survey, you don't need to return the printed survey to us.

You could win a £100 shopping voucher by completing our short survey to tell us about your views on rent.

The consultation runs until 29 November 2024. We look forward to reading your thoughts and feedback.

Thank you.
