Cabinet:
 
(1)           
approved the proposed Housing Asset Management Strategy 2026-31
attached as Appendix 1 to the report; and

 
(2)           
delegated authority to the Strategic Director of Place, in
consultation with the Portfolio Lead Member for Housing &
Regeneration and Corporate Director of Governance and Law, to
enable rapid amendment to the strategy for the inclusion of any new

Options & Alternatives Considered

No other options considered as the
development of the HAMS is a key component of the council’s
Improvement Plan submitted to the Regulator of Social Housing
(RSH). The strategy aims to address issues related to the Decent
Homes Standard and drive the broader transformation of housing
repairs and asset management services, ultimately improving
outcomes for residents.
