Decision details

This report seeks approval from Cabinet for a Council Housing Asset Management Strategy.  This document covers the period from 2014 to 2020; and will see the stock meet the WHQS at the end of that time.  Programmes of work will also be developed to ensure that the housing stock is able to meet the changing needs of the population and has a sustainable future; meeting issues identified through Welfare reform and household income pressures.  The strategy will see the creation of 20 apprenticeships and 200 local jobs.  In addition, the strategy considers legislative responsibilities that need to be met and how the strategy can support delivery of the Council’s Improvement Plan objectives particularly around the alleviation of fuel poverty.
