Issue - meetings

The Cabinet is requested to consider the agenda report and to make the following resolution:

That (a) the life of the existing Housing Strategy be extended to 2020 and (b) a new overarching strategy be developed in accordance with the revised timetable set out in paragraph 5 of the agenda report.

RESOLVED

That (a) the life of the existing Housing Strategy be extended to 2020 and (b) a new overarching strategy be developed in accordance with the revised timetable (as amended*) set out in paragraph 5 of the agenda report.

[*Note The date in the fourth bullet point in para 5.2 of the agenda report for ‘Draft Strategy to OSC’ was amended to read ‘January 2020’ instead of ‘January 2019’]

The Cabinet received and considered the agenda report.

This item was presented by Mrs Kilby.

Mrs Grange was in attendance for this matter.

Mrs Kilby summarised sections 3, 4 and 5 of the report.           

Mrs Grange did not add to Mrs Kilby’s introduction.

It was noted that a date required correcting in para 5.2 of the report: the fourth bullet point should state ‘January 2020’ and not ‘January 2019’.

Mrs Kilby agreed with Mr Dignum that an interim report on progress with housing matters and in particular homelessness should be presented to the Cabinet in due course; a report on Freeland Close was currently due to come to the November 2018 meeting.

RESOLVED

That (a) the life of the existing Housing Strategy be extended to 2020 and (b) a new overarching strategy be developed in accordance with the revised timetable (as amended) set out in paragraph 5 of the agenda report.
