Five local authority landlords have been told to make significant improvements to the management of their social housing.
East Suffolk Council, Ipswich Borough Council, Leicester City Council, North Kesteven District Council and Redditch Borough Council were each given C3 gradings in regulatory judgements published today by the Regulator of Social Housing (RSH).
A C3 grade means that there are serious failings in the landlord delivering the outcomes of the consumer standards, which the landlord’s current arrangements are not strong enough to put right.
Kate Dodsworth, chief of regulatory engagement at?RSH, said: ‘Our programme of proactive inspections, alongside our ongoing responsive engagement, continues to bring issues to light around health and safety, knowing your stock at an individual level, as well as understanding your tenants’ needs.
‘These issues outlined in the judgements published today need to be addressed promptly and we are working intensively with each of the landlords as they put things right for their tenants.’
