Delivering Change

We have built this Strategy on a comprehensive evidence base and will continue to invest in monitoring, developing, and sharing the data and performance information to show what is working and to consider what changes are needed over the lifetime of this strategy. The strategy will be reviewed in 2030 to sure that the priorities are still relevant and meet the needs of residents in Cheshire West and Chester.

We will regularly update the evidence base and this information will be available through the Cheshire West and Chester Council website on the Housing Strategies, Polices and Research page and State of the Borough dashboard.

We will monitor the performance of this strategy against the following indicators:

• Number of dependent children in temporary accommodation
• Number of homeless preventions
• Number of households in temporary accommodation
• Percentage of households in temporary accommodation which is hotel accommodation
• Rough sleeping numbers
• Number of vulnerable residents able to remain in their own homes through Disabled Facilities Grant funding and other grants
• Percentage of private rented properties with serious damp and mould issues and other serious hazardous disrepair issues
• Number of empty homes brough back into use
• Number of new homes programmed for direct delivery through council investment; homes started on site
• Number of new affordable homes delivered per annum
• Council housing tenant satisfaction measures; percentage of tenants overall satisfaction with delivery of services

Results will be published on a quarterly basis on the Cheshire West and Chester Council Performance Management Framework.
