Agenda item - Chair's Communications

3.1      The Chair gave the following communication:

Today we have one item on the agenda. At our September meeting we were looking at the Social Housing Regulator judgement on the city council’s performance as a social landlord. At that meeting we agreed that this would be an ongoing agenda item moving forward. Today we are being asked to consider and comment on the first update report on the actions that have been taken in response to the judgement. 

The Social Housing Regulator judgement focuses mainly on issues relating to repairs and maintenance, which are within the remit of Place committee. However, the report also covers resident engagement, which sits within the remit of People committee. It isn’t practical for the report to go to both scrutiny committees, so I have invited members of People O&S committee to attend today’s meeting. People members are welcome to ask questions and discuss the report, but if we are required to vote, please note that this will just be for the voting members of Place committee.
