Value for money

At Arawak Walton we have had another busy year ensuring we achieve and improve our value for money. Despite the challenges that Covid-19 brought, we have been able to provide services as normal. We are pleased to see that our costs were below our target, which means we can reinvest our surpluses into improving our homes over the coming years, with a focus on health and safety and energy efficiency. We continue to invest in better technology and have been focussing on enabling staff to work more efficiently whilst they are out and about in our communities. During the course of the year we continued to maintain our stock and invested £790k by replacing 56 kitchens, 38 bathrooms, 7 roofs including a major roof replacement at one of our sheltered schemes. We have also replaced windows, doors and boilers at 12 properties.

Our rolling programme of UPVC window replacements ensures that our windows become effectively maintenance free as they don’t require painting like the old wooden ones and also help reduce heating bills. Our modern “A” rated boilers use much less gas, which saves our tenants money. They are also less likely to break down, which saves our tenants’ time and saves us the cost of repairs. The new boilers are also much better for the environment as they produce less carbon dioxide. Due to successful tender processes, staff have ensured that the best prices have been paid for all these property components, in order to obtain best value for our tenants. During the year we have reviewed our asset management strategy, focussing on fire safety measures and

investment in carbon reduction measures for all of our properties. Our 30 year business plan now includes estimated costs of around £400k for fire safety measures over the next 3 years and continues to include significant investment in carbon reduction measures. We constantly work to improve our value for money and we have plans to do this over the course of the next year.
