Agenda item - Level Access Showers

(copy attached).

36.1      The Panel considered a report that provided an update on the 6-12 month pilot to install level access showers in ground floor properties that became empty and requires a bathroom replacement.

36.2      Alan Cooke stated that Craven Vale had many properties at ground floor level but most were accessed by steps from street level. He asked if such a policy could be implemented at Craven Vale.

36.3      The Performance Manager clarified that unfortunately conversion would not be possible as the properties did not provide a sufficient level of mobility access.

36.4      Chris El-Shabba asked if the bathrooms were converted to wet rooms.

36.5      The Performance Manager clarified that the policy only covered the installation of a level access shower facility.

36.6      RESOLVED- That the report be noted.
