Purpose

To provide assurance to Cabinet on the performance of the responsive repairs and planned maintenance

Decision

1)    That the report be noted;

2)    That Cabinet’s observations and comments on the information presented to them regarding the Housing Landlord Service’s performance of responsive repairs and planned maintenance be noted in the minutes;

3)    That Cabinet’s observations and comments, and the report be considered by the Performance Monitoring Panel as part of the scrutiny process

Reasons for the decision

·       The purpose of this report is to provide Cabinet, council tenants and leaseholders with the assurance and confidence that the Housing Landlord Service’s arrangements for responsive repairs and planned maintenance are robust and are subject to ongoing review and improvement.

Alternative options considered

·       Do nothing – To not consider information presented regarding the performance of responsive repairs and planned maintenance..  Cabinet is responsible for ensuring that the Council, in its role as a registered provider, is meeting the regulatory standards set.  This option is not recommended;

·       To not receive any information prior to Performance Monitoring Panel.  This is not recommended as it is beneficial for Cabinet to have considered this information prior to Performance Monitoring Panel scrutinising the performance;
