Newark Council Faces Housing Quality Challenges | Nottingham News

Newark and Sherwood District Council received a C2 rating from the social housing regulator — solid overall, but with key areas needing improvement. While tenant relations and complaint handling are strong, the council struggles with a complete picture of home conditions, especially around safety hazards. As of April 2026, 9% of homes didn’t meet the Decent Homes Standard, though that’s expected to improve with ongoing surveys. Health and safety oversight — particularly damp and mould — is under scrutiny, especially in light of Awaab’s Law. The council has already invested over $250,000 to tackle disrepair and is committed to fixing the issues to boost its rating.
