Issue - meetings

Consideration was given to a report which addressed the recommendations of the Audit Commission following the re-inspection of the Council’s Strategic Housing Services in February 2008. The re-inspection had resulted in a one star rating with promising prospects for improvement and it was recognised that this was a significant improvement from the previous inspection in March 2006.

The report included an Action Plan which contained proposed actions to address the areas identified by the Audit Commission as requiring further improvement.

RESOLVED:

(a)       that the report and recommendations of the Audit Commission following the re-inspection of the Strategic Housing Section be noted;

(b)       that the Action Plan as set out in appendix 1 to the report containing Corporate, Strategic Planning and Strategic Housing actions to address the recommendations be approved; and

(c)        that thanks be expressed to the Head of Strategic Housing and all his team for their efforts in achieving such a significant improvement in the service since the previous inspection.
