Final 22 council properties handed over at Claudian Way
TWENTY-two Thurrock households have been given the keys to high-quality, affordable council homes in the final handover phase of Thurrock Council’s Claudian Way development.
The keys to the remaining council homes at Chadwell St Mary were handed over to Thurrock residents this month, as part of the council’s £32million investment in new council homes for affordable rent for people on the borough’s housing register.
Cllr Barry Johnson, Cabinet Member for Housing, said: “I’m delighted that the final handover phase of Claudian Way has gone so well, in line with current and ongoing government coronavirus guidance, and our residents are benefitting from these much-needed council homes.
Significant improvements in tenant satisfaction and a successful council homes capital improvement programme are just two of the ways council tenants are continuing to benefit from a strong performing housing service. Cllr Barry Johnson, Cabinet member for housing, delivered his report at the reconvened November meeting of Full Council on Wednesday 13 January. The report outlined improvements to the service and demonstrated that the 2019/20 financial year was the strongest performing year for overall tenant satisfaction since the department began measuring levels in 2013/14. Satisfaction increased in a number of specific services including grounds maintenance, the Transforming Homes programme and the repairs service.
