§ Sir George YoungThe citizens charter proposed a new right-to-repair scheme to replace the existing scheme and provide local authority tenants with a simpler, stronger right to repair for the most urgent types of minor repairs affecting health, safety or crime prevention. The Government will bring forward legislation later this Session to give effect to it.
