decent homes
Councils are addressing tenant feedback on housing services and investing in Decent Homes standards.
City of London's housing services are facing low tenant confidence regarding feedback being acted upon, with residents frequently chasing updates and uncertain if their input influences service delivery, according to a September 2026 report. This comes despite satisfaction survey results showing performance above the London peer median in nine out of twelve aspects.
Tower Hamlets Council approved a £609 million Housing Asset Management Strategy in March 2026, covering 2026-2031. This investment aims to ensure homes are safe, warm, and well-maintained, meeting Decent Homes, Building Safety, and Net Zero commitments through essential repairs, fire safety improvements, and upgrades.
The Decent Homes standard is a set of criteria for housing quality, ensuring homes are warm, safe, and in good repair, particularly for social housing. This standard underpins efforts to provide minimum housing conditions. No upcoming council meetings specifically discussing this topic were provided.
