Powys County Council’s housing stock is not going to be sold off, a senior councillor has stressed.
At a meeting of the council’s Economy, Residents and Communities Scrutiny committee on Monday March 18, councillors were given an update on how the council intends to maintain its portfolio of housing and garage stock in the county for the coming years.
“We don’t have any plans at all to sell our social housing stock – it’s important to give our tenants the assurance that there are absolutely no plans under this administration to sell our council homes. Cllr Dorrance added that the council now has an “extensive building programme” and are committed to building new homes.
