Occupation has generated an extra £400,000
|
The number of council houses standing empty in Kirklees has dropped by 40% during the past year.
Kirklees Neighbourhood Housing (KNH) says it has reduced the number of empty council properties from 1,200 to 702 since its launch.
The organisation, a company owned by the council, took over the running of 28,000 homes in April 2002.
Bosses say since then empty homes have been repaired and re-let faster.
An extra £400,000 has also been generated by more properties becoming occupied.
