The council is reviewing its housing service charges policy and is seeking feedback from residents.
The draft policy specifies how service charges are calculated, divided, and collected for residential properties managed by the council.
Service charges cover costs for services in shared areas such as hallways and stairwells, upkeep of communal gardens, and large-scale repairs like window or roof replacements.
They ensure that council blocks comply with statutory requirements for health, safety and security, providing a well-maintained living environment.
The consultation period began on October 13 and will end on October 27, providing tenants a two-week window to submit their comments.
The council has emphasised the importance of feedback in shaping future rent and service charge policies.
Residents can review the draft housing service charges policy and submit their comments via email to ResidentInvolvement@eppingforestdc.gov.uk.
The council is encouraging all residents to participate in the consultation.
