Decision details

The Cabinet had before it a report * from the Head of Housing and Health on the Tenant Involvement Strategy.

The Cabinet Member for Housing, Assets and Property Services and Deputy Leader outlined the contents of the report with particular reference to the following:

• Under the Regulator of Social Housing’s Transparency, Influence and Accountability Standard, Registered Providers (RPs) must take tenants’ views into account in their decision-making about how landlord services are delivered.

RESOLVED that the updated Mid Devon Housing Tenant Involvement Strategy and Equality Impact Assessment contained in Annexes A and B respectively as recommended by the Home Policy Development Group be adopted.

(Proposed by Cllr S Clist and Seconded by Cllr J Lock)

Reason for Decision:

Homes and social housing were a clear priority within the Corporate Plan. The Council would work closely with its tenants to ensure they felt safe, secure and happy in their homes. The Council would monitor and continue to improve overall tenant satisfaction and work with its tenants through engagement events and the broader Tenant Involvement Strategy. This would ensure they were informed and had clear opportunities to comment on and shape the housing service they received.
