Issue - meetings

To adopt the Housing Landlord Strategy 2024 – 2026 (report of the Assistant Director – Housing enclosed).

Consideration was given to the report of the Assistant Director – Housing which requested adoption of the Housing Landlord Strategy 2024 – 2026.

The Portfolio Holder – Communities and Operational Housing presented the report.

DECISION:

1)    That the Housing Landlord Strategy 2024 – 2026 be adopted;

2)    That minor operational amendments to the Strategy be delegated to the Assistant Director – Housing in consultation with the Portfolio Holder for Communities and Operational Housing.

(Other options considered:

·       Do nothing – do not adopt the Landlord Strategy.  This option was not recommended – it was good practice to have a Landlord Strategy to ensure that Officers, Members and Tenants understood the priorities and objectives;

Reasons for decision:

·       To ensure the Council had a clear approach for the delivery of its Landlord Service into the future;

·       To ensure Members, Officers and Tenants understood the vision for the Service, and progress towards its achievement could be demonstrated).
