Council homes in Newark generally meet the standards required by a regulator, a new inspection report says. The Regulator for Social Housing (RSH) has been inspecting all social housing landlords, including councils, and dozens have been given poor ratings due to serious failings. The regulator visited Newark and Sherwood District Council in July, and has given it a C2 rating, meaning it is delivering the outcomes of consumer standards with some weaknesses. Newark and Sherwood currently manages around 5,500 council homes. The regulator added that the council is on track to complete the outstanding surveys of its homes by August 2026.
