Modern Homes Investment



Modern Homes Investment Programme

Newcastle’s biggest ever housing improvement programme is going ahead after we secured a 2 star rating from government inspectors.  The achievement has unlocked £348m of extra government funding that we will use to ensure that all Council homes meet the Decent Homes Standard.

We have worked with tenants to decide how best to organise the improvement work.  We decided to split the works into two separate packages - internal and external work.  These will be carried out separately with a decent break in between.  This will reduce the amount of disruption during the works to your home.

If work is planned for your home soon, our 'Talk to us' bus will visit your estate to host an information event a few weeks before work is due to take place.  Visit our Events calendar to find out where the bus will be visiting soon.

We are part of the Byker Investment Task Force, which was brought together in 2009 to develop a self-financing and sustainable vision for the estate's future.  The Task Force delivered their final report in March 2010 - click here to download the report (PDF, 4MB).
