43.1         The Sub Committee considered a report of the Executive Director Environment Development & Housing, on Housing Revenue Account Budget 2014/15. The report was presented by the Performance and Improvement Officer, Housing.

43.2         Councillor Mears asked when the Resident Assessors had begun working and how many assessors there were. Officers advised that there were seven assessors, who had been in place for just over a year.

43.3         Mr Melson referred to Appendix 1 and asked why if a property had been surveyed using the decent homes survey, the cost of any work identified would not come out of the Decent Homes budget. Officers said it would depend on the amount of work being undertaken. If it was major works it would come out of the Decent Homes budget, but if it was only minor work such as replacing a door it would come out of the Empty Property budget.

43.1         RESOLVED – That the Housing Management Consultative Sub Committee note the recommendations.
