Service Charges

The request was partially successful.

Dear Croydon Borough Council,

Please state the number of residential homes owned by the Council and the percentage owned by leaseholders.

Please state the method of apportioning service charges - whether by number of units, square footage, rateable value or by any other method for:

1. General service charges
2. Major works

If there are different methods used please specify which method applies to which estate.

Yours faithfully,

S Chapman

Dear Freedom of Information,

Please clarify what constitutes a “habitable room” apart from living room or bedroom. I.e. are kitchens and bathrooms considered “habitable”.

Yours sincerely,

S Chapman
