Council tenants in Newark could see their rent increase by over £200 a year if new plans are approved. Newark and Sherwood District Council is proposing to increase rent across all of its properties by 5% from April.
The proposals will now go to a full council meeting for further deliberations. Cllr Wendels said the Government capped rent increases this year at 7%. Cllr Peacock said: “It won’t be a surprise to know I’m not supportive of the 5% increase and certainly members of my group aren’t. The justification of the increase lacks any sort of detail whatsoever.
