Oldham Metropolitan Borough Council has received a C3 consumer grading from the Regulator of Social Housing (RSH) after an inspection found significant shortcomings. The inspection revealed that less than half of the council’s homes had a full stock condition survey in the last five years, there was a lack of consistent reporting and oversight of landlord health and safety, and the council could not demonstrate that tenants’ views were considered in service delivery decisions. These issues were partly linked to the council’s use of two PFI agreements for managing most homes. RSH said it will continue intensive engagement with Oldham to address the findings. The regulator also graded London Borough of Ealing a C2 and published judgments for 30 other landlords.
