Coronavirus – managing council homes and estates
We’re putting plans in place to ensure that we can continue to safely manage the 30,000 homes across the Council’s estates and street properties during the coronavirus outbreak – from making sure tenants suffering financially don’t face eviction to keeping our estates as clean and hygienic as possible.
Visit our council homes coronavirus page to find out more and sign up for regular updates through our estates and homes e-newsletter.
