This report outlines the recommendation to ‘de-pool’ the service charges for council tenants, as well as properties sold under the RTB and other property sales, and implement an accurate, fair and transparent charging regime across all service charge elements. Making the charges equitable and transparent in the charging structure and in line with good practice according to government policy and legislation. This aligns with the HRA Business Plan priorities to ensure that income due to the HRA is collected and used to deliver excellent housing services alongside contributing to new affordable homes for the district.
