Secure Warm Modern

This is our programme to make sure every council home is a decent place to live.

Our Secure Warm Modern programme will make sure every council home in Nottingham is a decent place to live.

Between 2008 and 2013 we aim to spend up to £243 million improving Nottingham's council homes. The programme has been based on YOUR priorities and is divided into three main areas of work:

• Nottingham Secure - installing new windows in 15,300 properties
• Warmth for Nottingham - improving heating for 19,700 properties
• Modern Living - making internal improvements including new kitchens for 17,000 homes and new bathrooms in 12,700 homes

We'll also be improving your neighbourhood, communal areas, electrical wiring, external doors, roofs, walls and other internal alterations.

We have to bring every home up to the Government's Decent Homes standard by 2013. The Secure, Warm, Modern programme will make sure every home not only meets this standard but improves on it.
