Council Housing

Publication date: 
Monday 29 January 2024
Request: 

In this request, ‘council housing’ includes housing built/owned by ALMOs, and includes both new-builds and acquisitions, but not renovations/refurbishments of existing council housing units (unless it involved demolishing old units and replacing them with new-builds).
This request is not asking for ‘net’ figures – so for question 3, if the council added 50 new council housing units between 2011 and 2015 but lost (through whatever route) 45 council housing units during that period, the response to question 3 would be 50, not five.
1.      How many new council housing units did the council complete between 2003 and 2010 (inclusive)?
2.      Of the units referred to in response to question 1, how many have now been sold under the Right to Buy scheme?
3.      How many new council housing units did the council complete between 2011 and 2015 (inclusive)?
4.      Of the units referred to in response to question 3, how many have now been sold under the Right to Buy scheme?
5.      How many new council housing units did the council complete between 2016 and 2020 (inclusive)?
6.      Of the units referred to in response to question 5, how many have now been sold under the Right to Buy scheme?
