MORE affordable housing could be provided on City of York Council development sites in future – following the recommendations of a review of housebuilding across the city. The review looked at aspects that affect affordable housing – including service charges that residents pay to cover repair work and the upkeep of shared spaces, but which can be a significant monthly bill for people living in affordable properties. It also recommends that York council works with housing associations on future developments to deliver more affordable homes. And that in future versions of council housing schemes, officers look to increase the number of affordable homes built.
