Council tax frozen for eighth year in a row

“Our waste and recycling crews have kept a full service going throughout this time and the IT and planning teams ensured we were one of the first councils in the country to host online meetings. “Despite the pandemic, the council has forged ahead with its corporate plan and we have had some successes to celebrate. “The housing team achieved national recognition by the National Practitioner Support Service challenge, being awarded gold for their approach to homelessness prevention. “New and refurbished affordable homes have been delivered at Haddenham Community Land Trust and at the ex-MOD site in Ely.  Residents will also soon be moving into the first eight £100k homes to be built by Combined Authority in Cambridgeshire, which are located in Fordham.

East Cambridgeshire housing service is 'gold standard'

According to the council, in 2012 the region’s three homeless hostels were “bursting”.   There were 200 households considered to be in desperate need and 30 households in bed and breakfast accommodation, costing the local authority £750,000 a year.   But months after implementing a new strategy, the council’s team had emptied one of the hostels, reduced the priority list to single figures, slashed the cost of B&B placements to zero and handed a £250,000 saving back to the council.   Eight years after the new strategy was introduced, the housing department is preventing and relieving 350 households from becoming homeless every year.   The department has also gone from spending £1 million a year on B&B provision to having a spend of zero.
