The costs of undertaking and managing the repairs and maintenance activities of the Council housing stock are accounted for within the Housing Revenue Account. The cost of repairs and maintenance is funded through the rental income derived from tenants, and the Council is obliged to ensure that there are sufficient funds available to cover the costs of repairs and maintenance to all properties.
The forecast expenditure is included in the 30-year Housing Revenue Account Business Plan which is subject to ongoing review and amendment to take into account any significant changes to the policy and/or operating environment. These amendments may impact the funding available for the Council’s repairs and maintenance activities.
