Dear Reigate and Banstead Borough Council,
Please treat this as a Freedom of Information/Environmental Information

I would like information about your council’s homes and MEES enforcements
in relation to climate action for the Council Climate Action Scorecards.
This information may be held by a housing department or similar.
In particular, please supply me with information relating to the following
questions:
1. What is the energy efficiency of the council's homes (managed or owned
by the council)? Please provide either a distribution table with the
number of buildings for each EPC rating or the percentage of the council’s
homes that have received an EPC rating of C or above.
2. What is the number of investigations, enforcement notices and
enforcement actions that the council did, related to MEES (Minimum Energy
Efficiency Standards) in the 2021/22 financial year.
Where data is available separately for each statistic please provide
separately. If only some information is available, please give me that

I would prefer to receive information in a machine readable format, such
as CSV files for data, where possible.
I look forward to hearing from you in due course.
Yours faithfully,
