To receive a report from the Housing Services Manager reviewing the Leasehold Management Policy.

The Group had before it a report * from the Housing Services Manager reviewing the Leasehold Management Policy. The contents of the report were outlined by the Housing Services Manager who stated that the Council had a different relationship with lease-holders than it did with tenants. The policy reflected changes in good practice and identified the Council’s approach to meeting its obligations to lease-holders in accordance with the terms of their lease and the relevant legislative requirements. The revised policy also brought clarity to the lease-holders themselves and officers.

RECOMMENDED to Cabinet that the revised Leasehold Management Policy be approved.

(Proposed by Councillor Mrs H Bainbridge and seconded by Councillor W J Daw)
