That the update be noted.

The Service Manager - Housing & Assets presented the key figures and key activities against the void action plan, as outlined in the briefing note (agenda item 6).

It was suggested that Members of the Committee be invited to see a void property prior to works being carried out a void property once work had been completed.

Following comments made by Councillor Ted Palmer, the Service Manager suggested that the new void properties, properties ready for allocation and total fields be moved to the top of the briefing note.

In response to a question from Councillor Bernie Attridge on how much additional funding had been transferred from the Housing Revenue Account (HRA) to Voids, the Service Manager agreed to provide this information following the meeting.

In response to a request from Councillor Kevin Rush, the Service Manager suggested bringing information on the Voids Lettable Standards and disrepair costs to the Committee at a future meeting. 

RESOLVED:
