The Overview & Scrutiny Facilitator presented the current Forward Work Programme for consideration and advised that following a request from the Chair a regular update on Void Management had been added to the Forward Work Programme for all future meetings.

            The Facilitator advised on the actions arising from previous meetings, as shown at Appendix 2 of the report and said that information on the breakdown of categories for the Housing Support Grant, information on the number of void properties which would cost in excess of £10,000 to bring back into use and the cost of the automated DRS system would be circulated to the Committee following the meeting.  

            In relation to the Sheltered Housing Review Task & Finish Group, the Facilitator reported that she had received 4 nominations from the Committee and would be liaising with officers to find a suitable date for the first meeting.

The recommendations, as outlined within the report, were moved by Councillor David Evans and seconded by Councillor Gillian Brockley.
