Dear Your Homes Newcastle,

I would like you to provide the following information:

The total amount of income received from tenants using the scheme, total from when the furniture scheme first began to April 2018 (This includes scheme assistance to other boroughs)?

The wholesale cost of the following items:-
Cooker/Oven
2x 2 Seater Sofa
Fridge/Freezer
Washing Machine

Who is the wholesaler of the items?

What action has been taking against tenants who has not returned items?

Details of the exact purpose of the scheme?

How many complaints regarding the scheme have you had in the past year?

Details if a tenant cannot afford to pay the weekly payments and also cannot return the furniture due to needing appropriate equipment for a child, for example a washing machine?

Who governs the scheme, is their a regulator like the Financial Ombudsman?

Where does the money go make from the scheme?

Yours faithfully,

Emily Maughan
