The Localism Act 2011 placed a duty on local housing authorities in England to publish a tenancy strategy that sets out what they expect from registered providers of social housing when formulating policies relating to:

The kind of tenancy to be granted.
The circumstances in which they will grant a tenancy of a particular kind.
Where they grant these tenancies for a term certain, the length of the terms and
Other circumstances in which they will grant a further tenancy on the coming to an end of an existing strategy.

Residents of local authorities in the North East are being asked to complete a voluntary survey into the impact of COVID-19, including views on vaccination, the economy and the easing of lockdown restrictions and social distancing. We have agreed to forward this  to you from your local authority to ask if you would consider taking part in what is a short survey (about 5 minutes) that will be very useful in understanding better the current and longer-term impacts of the pandemic.

North Tyneside Council is inviting views on the ways it tackles rogue landlords.

The local authority is introducing a new policy that sets out when and how enforcement action will be taken against landlords who do not comply with their legal obligations.

It follows approval by the council’s Cabinet of the use of extra powers, including civil penalties of up to £30,000, to enforce private sector housing standards.

Every year the Elected Mayor calls for a State of the Area event as detailed in the Council’s Constitution. The Authority’s approach to the event this year was somewhat restricted as it had to be conducted in-line with Government COVID-19 secure guidelines.  In person, face to face engagement was not able to take place so for the first time the event was held online.

This is your chance to have your say on the priorities that matter to you. We are seeking your views on the initial budget proposals for 2021/22.

The council continues to operate in a very difficult financial climate and is dealing with multiple spending pressures as well as additional costs related to the COVID19 pandemic. 

A public consultation has launched to secure feedback on the region’s first Transport Plan; an ambitious multi-billion-pound strategy which aims to deliver major improvements across the North East up to 2035.
