Agenda item - 2019/20 Budget discussion

39.1           Ododo Dafe, the Head of Income Involvement & Improvement, introduced discussion on the 2019/20 budget and specifically asked residents to identify where the council needed to improve the environment of the estates which was the lowest performing area on the STAR survey.

39.2            Residents raised the following areas for improvement:

·  enforcement against anti-social behaviour

·  police presence

·  ground maintenance

·  CCTV

·  walls and bushes for defence against noise pollution and more security

·  upkeep of gardens

39.3           Officers thanked the residents for their input and said that they had a range of feedback from complaints, Area Housing Panels and surveys. They added that they intended to hold focus groups and encouraged tenants that did not usually attend meetings to get in contact to contribute ideas. More information would be provided in the Homing In magazine.
