The half year progress report (2007/2008) for the city council has been put on their website.
You can take a look at it here.
It will be tabled at the next city council cabinet meeting, on the 18th of December.
A number of issues jump out:
- page 20 (not enough empty properties coming back into use),
- page 27 (lower life expectancy year on year in "priority neighbourhoods" in Coventry), and,
- page 38 (only 134 affordable housing units built in the last six months).
Take a read through it. This is the nuts-and-bolts of what the council is doing well, and where it is significantly falling short. We have so much recent focus on big-fix megaprojects (Ikea, the Swanswell, Friargate), but some basics like housing and life expectancy are being neglected.
