      Please accept my apologies for the delay in responding. 

      How many homes to let at a social rent package (including London Affordable Rent and London Living Rent where applicable) do you have in your housing stock, either directly or through an ALMO or a wholly owned housing company (please list them separately?

      Answer: We did a Large Scale Voluntary Transfer (LSVT) of our housing stock in 1996 and subsequently only have a small portfolio of residential properties which are let as temporary and move-on accommodation. There are 34 properties which are let at either Social Rent or Affordable Rent.

      How many comms people in your organisation work on housing communications? This includes anyone tasked with things like media relations, social media, marketing, web operations, public affairs, and so on. Please list the posts and what proportion of their time is spent on housing comms, as a proportion of a full time equivalent post.

      Answer: The Council's Communication Team works across all areas of the Council. There are two communication members of staff who work on housing communications. This is around 0.3 FTE.

      Are those staff members paid for from funds in your housing revenue account (ie your tenants rent) or by other means? Please explain how if it's the latter.

      Answer: The Council does not have a Housing Revenue Account.
