Decision details

The Service Manager Housing Assets presented a report to provide an update on the Council’s sheltered housing review, the proposed methodology to be utilised to identify assets to be included in the review and the associated option appraisal of these assets. 

In response to comments made by Councillor Bernie Attridge around communication, the Service Manager Housing Assets explained that the report was seeking the Committees’ comments on the proposed methodology and that following this, the next stage of the process would be to engage/consult with Members and tenants.  The Chief Executive referred to previous Scrutiny reports and added that the pandemic had slowed down the pace of the project but that it was still in its very early stages.  

Councillor Attridge suggested that a Task & Finish Group be set up to consider how the project would proceed.  This was supported by the Committee and the Facilitator advised that a report to outline the terms of reference of the Task & Finish Group would be presented to the next Committee meeting. 

Councillor Attridge proposed that the report be noted and that a Task & Finish Group be established to consider the next steps for the Sheltered Housing Review.  The proposal was seconded by Councillor Linda Thew.   

RESOLVED:

(a)       That the report be noted; and

(b)       That a Task & Finish Group be established to consider the next steps for the Sheltered Housing Review.
