Issue - meetings

As detailed in the recommendation.

Councillor Bibby introduced the report which provided an update on the progress of the sheltered housing review which adopted a holistic approach to the sustainability of the sheltered housing stock and was designed to review each scheme from:-

• An asset management perspective - to identify the current and future investment needs of each scheme, WHQS works, de-carbonisation and compliance considerations; and
• A housing management perspective - to address any demand / turnover and desirability issues and to determine the sustainability of each scheme.

The Service Manager (Housing, Welfare & Communities) advised that scheme would be assessed against an approved sustainability matrix which would result in it being awarded one of 4 possible recommendations, as outlined within the report. 

There were 142 schemes in Flintshire which provided a total of 2,641 units of accommodation.  A thorough desktop and kerbside review had been carried out over the last couple of months which had provided more detailed information in relation to the location and layout of the schemes.  From this information, several workstreams had been developed and each workstream would be assessed using the asset and housing management matrix and the process for review would follow the agreed communication plan.

RESOLVED:

That Cabinet note the progress of the Sheltered Housing Review.
