My issue is the decrease in expenditure on housing maintenance for social housing that is currently occupied by tenants. The housing stock is ageing and people are living in houses that have single-glazed aluminium windows and no insulation. There is no retrofitting of those houses going on. Actually, retrofitting is not in the report. I do not believe local authorities are performing to the level they ought to be. NOAC is scrutinising the performance of local authorities. Do our guests believe local authorities are meeting their requirements?
