Request

  1. Year by year (from 2024/25 to 2025/26) how many housing disrepair claims were sent to the council. 
  2. How many of these claims settled pre-trial? 
  3. After the government’s consultation in HDR claims, what changes does your local authority (who provides social housing stock) think would be advisable?

Response

  1.  2024/25 – 16 and 2025/26 - 27
  2. One.
  3. The Freedom of Information Act provides a right of access to recorded information held by public authorities. The Act’s provisions do not provide any rights of access to thoughts, opinions, comments, or interpretations, unless they have been physically recorded in some way. Your request for what changes to HDR claims we think would be advisablehas been worded in such a way it is perceived as requesting an opinion. We will therefore not be responding to this question.
