12.2 Local Authorities' provisional capital investment on HRA housing, financed from all sources (including new borrowing, useable receipts and financed from the CFCR from the HRA surplus) in 2021-22 is £988m. This includes £422m on improvements to existing council houses, £501m on new council houses and £64m on other capital expenditure. This expenditure is in addition to the day-to-day maintenance referred to earlier.
