Caerphilly County Borough Council’s Cabinet has approved plans for investment into its housing service over the coming year.
The Housing Revenue Account Business Plan 2025/26 sets out income and expenditure plans for Caerphilly Homes, the Council’s housing service, over the next financial year. It provides financial assurance of the effective long-term management and maintenance of the Council’s housing stock.
Included within the Business Plan are financial forecasts for the coming year, based upon expected income and expenditure. This includes the income from tenants’ rents which, despite an annual increase for 2025/26, remains the third lowest local authority weekly rent in Wales and around 6.7% lower than the Wales average.
Caerphilly Council also receives funding from Welsh Government’s Major Repairs Allowance, which is invested directly into improvements to tenants’ homes.
Cllr Shayne Cook, the Council’s Cabinet Member for Housing, said “Key priorities for us over the coming year are to continue building momentum with our new build programme, to help meet ever increasing housing need, and investing in our existing stock, making homes warmer, more comfortable and cheaper to run.
“Having a robust business plan is essential in helping us ensure we deliver these priorities, whilst at the same time continuing to deliver high-quality services for our customers.”
