The organisation, an arms-length housing management company wholly owned by the council, has managed over 20,000 homes on behalf of City of Doncaster Council since it was established in October 2005. The signing of this new management agreement comes after a review carried out by the Council which showed it to be a low cost, medium-to-high performing organisation when compared to other housing providers and ALmOs.

Board Chair Dave Wilkinson was at the Council’s Cabinet meeting when the contract was agreed. He said: “We are passionate about the services we provide to our tenants and the communities in Doncaster and it is great that the Council has recognised the success we have had.

“This new agreement allows to us develop a new five-year Corporate Plan which will demonstrate how we will continue to deliver improvements for our customers and Doncaster communities alongside the Council and our partners.”

Cllr Glyn Jones, Deputy Mayor and Cabinet Member for Housing and Business, added: “I’m delighted to confirm that St Leger Homes will continue to manage City of Doncaster Council’s housing stock.

“We have been impressed by St Leger Homes’ commitment to delivering excellent services and look forward to carrying on our work with them to deliver our shared vision of quality council housing and services for local people across Doncaster.”
