- View the background to item 37.
Minutes:
37.1 Hilary Edgar, the Housing Service Operations Manager, gave a briefing on the government green paper stating that it proposed fundamental reforms that ensured social housing provided essential, safe and a well-manged service for all those who needed it. The three main objectives of the paper were to rebalance the relationship with tenants, tackle the stigma associated with social housing and to create a stronger base for social mobility. The paper was based on consultations with tenants across the country and was currently going through parliament and would lead to specific requirements from the council based in the new legislation. She added residents should see page 29 of the report if they wanted more information on the process to get involved.
37.2 The Chair stated that if residents wanted to participate they should contact Officers and there were still further events to attend in the UK.
37.3 RESOLVED – the panel agreed to note the report.
