This group has been particularly affected by the current cost of living crisis. Included in the council's proposals is a hardship fund to support tenants facing difficulties with the increase in rent alongside energy and food cost pressures also being faced.
It is also looking to cut costs by reducing the frequency of green bin collections and reviewing home to school transport for some children. It is hoped these efforts will bridge the expected £60m hole in the council's finances next year. “I encourage all tenants to take part in this consultation so that their opinions are reflected in the final report and may help to shape the decision that is made by Councillors at the final budget setting meeting in February. It’s important our tenants are engaged with the rent setting process - this rent helps maintain and improve the current homes we have and build more homes for future generations, so proposing rent increases allows us to keep doing these important things.
