That the Forward Work Programme be updated accordingly.

The Housing & Learning Overview & Scrutiny Facilitator introduced a report to enable the Committee to consider the Forward Work Programme.  She confirmed that the budget consultation meeting for the Committee would be held on 12 December 2013 and suggested some changes to the Programme.

Following recent consideration by Cabinet, the item on Governance Arrangements for a Local Housing Company would be brought forward to the next meeting on 20 November 2013.  The items on the Draft Asset Management Strategy and Tenant Satisfaction Survey Results/Action Plan would be deferred to 8 January 2014 and the Sheltered Housing Improvement Project would be moved to 5 February 2014.

The Facilitator explained that she was liaising with a colleague on a suitable date for the joint meeting with the Environment Overview & Scrutiny Committee.  A date for a joint meeting with the Social & Health Care Overview & Scrutiny Committee was being progressed by the Head of Adult Services and would include a site visit to Llys Jasmine.  Both meeting dates would be advised in due course.  In response to a query raised by the Chair, the Director of Community Services reported that Llys Jasmine had opened and was expected to be fully tenanted by late November 2013.

RESOLVED:

That the Forward Work Programme be updated accordingly.
