Decision:
The Chair thanked the presenting officers for the revised and anonymised report which enabled the applications and the good work delivered by the Council to be placed in the public realm.
Jackie Odunoye Service Head, Strategy, Regeneration & Sustainability and Alison Thomas, Head of Housing Strategy, Partnerships and Affordable Housing, presented the report which concerned four applications for home repairs grants under the Council’s Private Sector Housing Renewal Policy 2013-15. Approval of the grants would enable these vulnerable residents to retain their independence and spare the Council additional costs for provision of alternative forms of support which it would otherwise be required to provide.
The Chair asked attending Members to respond to the information presented. Councillor Golds commented that he supported the publication of this of report. Councillor Saunders indicated that she had no observations that she wished to make.
The Commissioners enquired about implementation and monitoring of the contracted works and were satisfied that the Council’s surveyors had been appropriately involved in scheduling the repairs.
