Issue - meetings

The Committee resolved:-

(i)              to request that a Service Update be issued to members six months after the implementation of the new policy, providing an analysis on how the new policy has been working;

(ii)             to approve the revised Housing Allocations Policy as detailed in Appendix 1; and

(iii)            to instruct the Chief Officer – Early Intervention and Community Empowerment to implement the revised Housing Allocations Policy.

The Committee had before it a report by the Chief Officer – Early Intervention and Community Empowerment, which sought approval of the proposed revisal to the Housing Allocations Policy. The revised policy reworded the existing policy and took account of the adoption of a Choice Based Lettings (CBL) approach to the letting of council housing, which would replace the current system.

The report recommended:-

that the Committee –

(a)           approve the revised Housing Allocations Policy as detailed in Appendix 1; and

(b)           instruct the Chief Officer – Early Intervention and Community Empowerment to implement the revised Housing Allocations Policy.

The Committee resolved:-

(i)              to request that a Service Update be issued to members six months after the implementation of the new policy, providing an analysis on how the new policy has been working;

(ii)             to otherwise approve the recommendations.
