Cabinet received a report on the new
Management of Estate and Neighbourhoods Policywhich would help the
Council achieve its ambition to make neighbourhoods safe,
welcoming, and places that residents can truly take pride in.
 
It was noted that the policy would be subject
to consultation and that the feedback received would be used to
refine the policy to ensure it was transparent, inclusive and truly
co-owned before it was formally adopted.
 
Members agreed that the policy was essential
to the effective management of housing stock, estates and
neighbourhoods and that as a co-operative council Members were
committed to working with communities and not just for
them.  The concern regarding communal
areas and the immediate environment was also supported.
 
It was RESOLVED:
 
1            
That the adoption of the draft Management of Estates and
Neighbourhoods Policy 2025-2027 (Appendix A), subject to
consultation with tenants and leaseholders be approved;
2            
That the relevant Strategic Director, after consultation with the
relevant Portfolio Holder, be given delegated authority to make
minor updates and changes to this policy.
