Who will manage your council home in the future
At its meeting on 15 September 2011, Newark and Sherwood District Council extended Newark and Sherwood Homes’ Management Agreement to the end of September 2013. This is the agreement that Newark and Sherwood Homes will manage the Councils properties that you live in. A management agreement has been in place since 2004 and enabled the council to attract the additional decent homes money which Newark and Sherwood Homes delivered through improvements such as new kitchens, bathrooms, roofs and central heating systems.
The Council is now reviewing its options to decide whether to change the way it manages its housing stock when the agreement stops in September 2013. The options are:
a) Stay the same with Newark and Sherwood Homes managing council houses
b) Transfer the management back to the Council
c) Transfer the management to another type or organisation such as a housing association or a community organisation.
The Housing Quality Network have produced a HQN Council Tenants Guide for tenants on option reviews which provides information on the process to be undertaken and the issues to be considered.
