Minutes:
Councillor Sirajul Islam, Deputy Mayor and Cabinet Member for Housing, introduced the report on the termination of the Withy House Tenant Management Organisation (TMO) agreement. He stated that a number of residents had approached him at his surgeries expressing a desire to be allowed to continue to operate the TMO whilst they addressed the issues of concern that had been raised.
Cabinet heard from a representative of the Tenant Management Organisation who highlighted the previous good record of the organisation and requested that time be allowed to deal with the issues that had been highlighted by the Council.
During discussion, Councillor Sirajul Islam proposed that the Mayor should agree to defer a decision on the termination for 6 months at which point a further report would be presented for consideration on whether the TMO was now operating appropriately. It was also proposed that an Independent Assessor be appointed to produce the report.
The Mayor accepted the proposals and then agreed the amended recommendations.
