Purpose

the registered providers of social housing for its area are to have
regard in formulating policies. The tenancy Strategy is an
overarching strategy, meant to give guidance and information to
Registered Providers of Social Housing (RPSH). 

Decision

RESOLVED – That
the Tenancy Strategy at Appendix A be approved.

 
REASON FOR DECISION: To
comply with the Localism Act 2011.
