Ashfield views its inclusion as vindication of the decision to move its housing services in-house after they had previously been looked after by Ashfield Homes.

Coun Kier Barsby said: “To be the only council on the list is amazing and shows what a fantastic housing service we offer to tenants and residents.

“Having only come back into the council fold less than three years ago, the housing team should be exceptionally proud of what they have achieved.

“We have high customer-satisfaction rates, low rent-arrear rates and initiatives to improve our service.”
