Walker said it was “essential” the authority followed the government’s guidance to ensure the delivery of its housing revenue account (HRA) business plan – the legally mandated strategy to manage council housing stock.
He said it was important to invest in existing homes and properties “so that all tenants have a home that is safe, decent and well-maintained”.
Councillor Finlay Gordon McCusker, cabinet member for regeneration, said: “It’s important to recognise that every pound of rent goes back into our homes, back into our estates, making them better.”
He said this included dealing with issues like damp or mould, making homes more energy-efficient and building new homes.
“The alternative to this report is making cuts to services and improvements,” he added.
