(a)       That the Committee considers the draft Forward Work Programme and approve/amend as necessary;

(b)       That the Facilitator, in consultation with the Chair of the Committee be authorised to vary the Forward Work Programme between meetings, as the need arises; and

(c)        That the Committee notes the progress made in completing the outstanding actions.

The Facilitator presented the latest Forward Work Programme on which there were no changes.  On Action Tracking, the majority of the actions arising from the previous meetings had been completed.     

            Councillor Rosetta Dolphin commented on a previous agreement that an officer would contact her around to discuss her concerns, following a request she had made for a report to be brought to a future meeting on the SARTH Policy.  The Facilitator agreed to follow this up after the meeting. 

            Councillor Dennis Hutchinson raised concern that he had previously requested an item on the Allocations process and that this had not been included on the Forward Work Programme.  This request was endorsed by Councillors Bernie Attridge and Patrick Heesom.  The Facilitator explained that following Councillor Hutchinson’s concern around anti-social behaviour as a result of an allocation within his ward, the Chief Officer had agreed to present a report to the Committee on Tenancy Enforcement and Anti-Social Behaviour in order to demonstrate options available to Housing Officers in dealing with anti-social behaviour.  This had been included on the Forward Work Programme and would be presented to the meeting on 29 April, 2020. 

            The recommendations within the report were moved by Councillor Patrick Heesom and seconded by Councillor Ted Palmer.

RESOLVED:

(a)       That the Committee considers the draft Forward Work Programme and approve/amend as necessary;

(b)       That the Facilitator, in consultation with the Chair of the Committee be authorised to vary the Forward Work Programme between meetings, as the need arises; and

(c)        That the Committee notes the progress made in completing the outstanding actions.
