7. The Council’s housing stock was managed by an alms length management organisation until October 2021 and complete records are only held from April 2022 onwards. This data is only recorded in financial years, rather than calendar years. The records are limited to the exact details of the complaints however we have included those that relate to any aspect of the condition of the property.
