🏠📣 Have Your Say on Council Rents and Housing Investment for 2027/28

Angus Council Housing is starting the annual rent-setting process for 2027/28, and this year we're doing things differently.

Last year, some tenants told us they wanted an earlier opportunity to influence spending priorities before rent increase options were developed. We listened to that feedback and have changed our approach.

This year, we're introducing a two-stage consultation to give tenants a stronger voice in how housing income is invested and how future rent proposals are developed.

💬 The first consultation goes live at 9am on Monday 14 September 2026. We want to hear what matters most to you and how you think housing income should be prioritised.

Your rent helps fund a wide range of services and investment, including:

✅ Repairs and maintenance
✅ Planned improvements to homes
✅ Estate and neighbourhood improvements
✅ Health and safety compliance
✅ Preparing empty homes for new tenants
✅ Building and acquiring new council homes
✅ Tenant participation and engagement
✅ Staff and services that support tenants and communities

The cost of delivering these services and investing in our homes continues to increase. We therefore need to balance maintaining and improving services, meeting our legal responsibilities and continuing to invest in council housing, while also considering affordability for tenants.

📝 You will be able to complete the survey online, join an online session or arrange to meet with a Tenant Participation Officer.

Your feedback from this first stage will help shape the rent and investment options we develop. Later in the year, we will consult with tenants again on those options before any final decisions are made. By consulting earlier, we want to give tenants a greater opportunity to influence how housing income is invested and ensure tenant views are at the heart of decision-making.

📅 The consultation opens at 9am on Monday 14 September 2026. Keep an eye on this page for details of how to get involved.

We're consulting on a proposal to grant a servitude right of access over The Den, Brechin.

The access is required for a residential development at the former Infirmary and would be used for surface water drainage. The Den would continue to form part of the Brechin Common Good.

Angus Council Appoints New Housing Repairs Contractors

Angus Council Housing Service is pleased to announce the appointment of new contractors to deliver our reactive repairs and void repairs services across Angus from 1 today - September 2026.

The new contracts will help us continue to provide a responsive, high-quality repairs service for tenants, ensuring homes are maintained to a good standard and are ready for new tenants as quickly as possible.

Reactive Repairs Contractors

The new reactive repairs contracts have been awarded as follows:
• Arbroath: Cardo Scotland Ltd
• Carnoustie & Monifieth: Derek McNulty Joinery & Building
• Montrose & Brechin: QAPM Ltd
• Forfar & Kirriemuir: Pert Bruce Construction Ltd

Voids Repairs Contractors

The void repairs contracts, which involve preparing empty council homes for new tenants, have been awarded as follows:
• Arbroath: Derek McNulty Joinery & Building
• Carnoustie & Monifieth: QAPM Ltd
• Montrose & Brechin: MP Group UK
• Forfar & Kirriemuir: MP Group UK

Transition Update - What this means for tenants

Repairs reported before 1 September will remain with our previous contractor, even if the repair is due to be carried out after 1 September. Repairs reported from 1 September onwards will be passed to our new contractor.
Tenants do not need to take any action, and new repairs should continue to be reported through the usual Angus Council Housing Service channels.

The new repairs and void contracts have been designed to provide a better, more responsive service for tenants. By separating the contracts for day-to-day repairs and empty homes (voids), each contractor can focus on their specialist area, helping to improve performance and reduce delays.
The new arrangements also provide increased capacity and clearer accountability, supporting faster repairs, quicker turnaround of empty homes, and improved quality of work. This will help more homes become available for letting sooner, and ensure tenants receive a more reliable repairs service.

How to request a repair
Tenants can continue to report non-emergency repairs using Housing Online - https://orlo.uk/XIZ37 or by calling the Customer Contact Centre on 03452 777 778.

This , protect yourself from unscrupulous traders. If you need work done on your home or garden, make sure you choose a reputable trader.

Often what can seem like a quick cheap job can become be a lot more work with escalated costs, especially if you don’t use the right person.

Avoid cold callers and never feel pressured into making a decision on your doorstep. You can take their details, close the door, and check them.
This means you can make sure you have all the information you need to make an informed choice.

Try to get three quotes and use a reputable local trader who has been recommended by friends or family or someone who has been vetted by Trading Standards and is part of the Angus Trusted Trader Scheme.
