Decision details

To consider a revision to the Void Management Policy.

Arising from a * report of the Head of Housing and Property Services, the  Decent and Affordable Homes Policy Development Group had recommended that the revised policy be approved.

The Cabinet Member for Housing outlined the contents of the report stating that 654 properties owned by the Housing Revenue Account had been formally classified sheltered housing, this had since been reclassified as accessible housing, because of the change in age range of the occupiers of the properties. The Tenants Together Group had considered whether it was necessary for the Council to undertake the decoration of every property and that savings could be made

Consideration was given to the 5% of tenants who were unable to redecorate their properties and what service would be provided.

RESOLVED that the revised policy be approved.

(Proposed by Cllr  R L Stanley and seconded by Cllr  Mrs M E Squires)
