\n<\/strong>Ashfield is taking swift action to tackle failing boilers in council housing, awarding a new contract to Denton Nickles (UK) Ltd. This contract will cover both urgent replacements and a small number of planned upgrades to ensure warm, comfortable homes. A vital step in ensuring warmer, safer homes for residents this winter.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>Hillingdon is investing \u00a3893,000 in external repairs and decorations at Yeading Lane Estate in Hayes. Awarded to Greyline Builders Ltd, the project is backed by a \u00a31.027m capital release.\u00a0A major upgrade for residents, improving both the look and longevity of their homes.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>Hull is taking proactive steps to safeguard public health with a new Legionella monitoring and risk assessment contract across its housing and corporate buildings. The three-year contract comes with a \u00a3150,000 annual budget and a potential two-year extension. By ensuring strict water safety compliance, Hull is reinforcing its commitment to safe and healthy living environments for residents and staff.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>Ipswich is rethinking its EV charging approach. With 32 charging points already in place, the council has opted against a grant-funded expansion due to low demand and technical hurdles. Instead, it\u2019s moving forward with a \u00a3125,000 procurement plan to lease or purchase new chargers, selecting a provider to manage the network more efficiently.\u00a0A practical step to keep Ipswich\u2019s EV infrastructure responsive and future-ready.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>Big improvements are coming to Fleming Crescent, Haverfordwest. Pembrokeshire is set to invest \u00a32.8m in a major roof structure replacement project, ensuring safer, more energy-efficient homes for residents. The upgrade includes asbestos removal, reinforced timber trusses, brand-new roofing, and solar panel installation-a big win for both safety and sustainability. Procured through the South West Wales Regional contractor framework, this project highlights the council\u2019s commitment to modern, resilient, and eco-friendly housing.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>Fire safety gets a major boost in South Holland, with Openview securing a contract to replace fire doors in community centres, HMOs, and flats. A crucial upgrade to enhance resident protection and meet modern safety standards.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>South Kesteven is stepping up efforts to bring empty council homes back into use. Foster Property Maintenance Ltd and Gratton Construction Ltd have secured a \u00a32m annual contract for next three years, with a potential two-year extension. These essential works will ensure all homes meet the Voids Quality Standard, improving housing availability and quality for residents. A major boost for local housing.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>West Northamptonshire is set to invest \u00a316m to procure a new contractor for building repairs, maintenance, and minor works, ensuring cost-effective services, faster emergency responses, and smoother planned maintenance.\u00a0This move, led by the Assistant Director of Assets & Environment, prioritises securing the best market price while maintaining high service standards across the council\u2019s properties.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
