To provide Cabinet with an update on progress made towards delivering the outcomes of the Social Housing (Regulation) Act 2023, including revised consumer standards.
That the work underway to align services with the new regulatory regime, and the Council’s progress towards delivering the outcomes of the consumer standards, be noted.
To provide assurance to Cabinet on the Council’s preparations for regulatory inspection and provide updated information on ongoing work towards delivering the outcomes of the consumer standards
Do nothing – to retain progress updates through operational arrangements with the Portfolio Holder for Strategic and Operational Housing. This option was not considered to be appropriate as the Regulator of Social Housing was clear that Councillors were responsible for ensuring that the Council, in its role as a registered provider, was meeting the regulatory standards set.
