Tandridge District overhauls housing service

Tandridge District Council has launched a major overhaul of its housing service after an inspection raised concerns over safety and standards.

Inspectors from the Regulator of Social Housing visited the council in July and their official findings are due out this week

The inspection is part of a new national regime which gives regulators greater powers to intervene in failing housing services.

Senior officers say they have launched a Housing Improvement Plan to deal with problems flagged during the visit.
