flag Dudley Council can't survey 2,600 homes for safety, stalling compliance with housing standards.

flag Dudley Council is struggling to survey over 2,600 of its 21,000 homes to meet the Decent Homes Standard, despite hiring Savills and completing 1,253 surveys. flag Around 3,867 homes remain inaccessible, primarily due to repeated resident refusals, mirroring past denials of safety checks. flag Legal enforcement for condition surveys is not available, so the council is recruiting staff and planning a publicity campaign to improve cooperation. flag The effort is part of a broader push to comply with housing regulations after a 2023 finding of non-compliance.
