HOUSING companies owned by Wokingham Borough Council are looking at ways to operate differently in the future.
At the moment, the council runs Loddon Homes and Berry Brook Homes, providing affordable, subsidised, housing including Barrett Crescent, Southlake Crescent, Phoenix Avenue and Peach Place.
As part of its efficiency savings drive, Wokingham Borough Council is looking at ways it can improve the companies.
At the meeting of Wokingham Borough Council on Thursday, November 17, deputy leader Cllr Stephen Conway explained that the first common purposes meetings for the companies had taken place earlier that day.
Cllr Conway said this had been successful: “The aim is to share perspectives, discuss common concerns and create greater strategic alignment to make sure that we’re all working to the same forming objectives.”
Speaking after the meeting, leader of the council, Cllr Clive Jones, said: “What we will probably do is bring the housing companies together and focus more on building more affordable homes, council houses, and for rent.
“There will be some changes to come.”
