Cabinet was presented with a
pre-consultation Responsive Repairs and Maintenance Policy. It was
noted that this policy would be subject to further consultation
with tenants and leaseholders ahead of a final version being
presented to Cabinet for approval later in the year.

The Portfolio Holder thanked the Community Select
Committee for their review of the Service.

pressures.  The importance of providing
appropriate service for those tenants needing additional support
and the Council being responsive to their needs was
acknowledged.
