    Good to see this topic being highlighted within the sector. Housing and domestic violence is becoming even more pressing with services at risk of losing funding and refuge provision being cut. Homelessness services face an increasing demand from people fleeing domestic violence, and in particular from women with complex needs such as substance use and mental health problems. Recent St Mungo’s research among our female residents revealed that 35 percent of women who had slept rough, left home to escape domestic violence.

    Very little change here. No plans for additional borrowing as we can't afford to repay more debt than we have (despite having the borrowing headroom).

    Over the 30 odd years I have been asocial housing tenant I have replaced skirting boards, architraves, doors including an outside door to an alleyway between the house and outbuilding for security and floorboards that should have been done by contactors when upgrading work was done. Plus pipe clips that were not fitted when the central heating was installed to name but a few. All his on a state pension.
