Issue - meetings

Report of the Director of Communities attached.

Councillor Terry Howarth, Executive Member (Homes and Housing) presented a report of the Director of Communities providing the first update of the work undertaken to deliver the 18 recommendations made by the Overview and Scrutiny Task Group for Select Move.

One member referred to page 62, recommendation 15 of the report regarding the demographics of people moving into the area through the 25% allowance not through Select Move and asked if the information had been requested from the Housing Associations again. The Director of Communities confirmed that the information had been requested again quite recently and that officers would continue to chase this up.

One member informed the Committee that they had met with the housing team last week and found it useful to have information about the properties available to bid on such as the waiting times. The Director Communities indicated that this was available via the Select Move system. It was suggested that a note be provided to new members on the Select Move system.

The Chair thanked Councillor Howarth for his attendance.

Resolved:

1.    That the report be noted;                     

2.    That the Director of Communities provide a note to new members on the Select Move system.
