Decision:

That the Committee support the Housing Management policy.

Minutes:

The Senior Manager (Housing, Welfare & Communities) provided an update on the Renting Homes Wales Act and the current changes in the legislation, with the main one being the change in name from being a tenancy agreement to the new term of contract and from tenants to contract holders.  Roadshows were still being undertaken to inform contract holders of the changes and would continue throughout the summer, with workshop sessions accessible to contract holders who requested it. 

 

The Committee was informed that the new Policy was still in draft form to simplify the process.  The consultation process was underway, and the Senior Manager (Housing, Welfare & Communities) welcomed Member’s input.  The Policy would be presented to the Committee later in the year for approval.   

 

The recommendation, as outlined within the report, was moved by Councillor David Evans and seconded by Councillor Geoff Collett.

 

RESOLVED:

 

That the Committee support the Housing Management policy.
