Ward(s) affected: All

Notice of Motion

Conservative Group

This committee:

1) Considers that the Housing Revenue Account should be used solely for the benefit of council tenants and leaseholders in the city;

2) Expresses concern that:

a. The Housing Revenue Account is increasingly being used by the council used to fund purposes unrelated to the benefit of the majority of tenants and leaseholders;

b. Tenants and leaseholders are no longer receiving value for money from their contributions following recent housing policies, including insourcing;

3) Calls for a report that assesses the medium-term sustainability and viability of the Housing Revenue Account, with respect to providing services for council tenants and leaseholders, in the context of the above issues.
