Agenda item - Schedule of Reviews

Schedule prepared for the Executive Director, Housing, Neighbourhoods and Communities (copy attached).

RESOLVED –

That the Schedule of Reviews be noted.

32.1    The Committee considered the schedule prepared on behalf of the Executive Director of Housing, Neighbourhoods and Communities.

32.2    Councillor O’Quinn noted there had been a lot of Reviews.  The Regulatory Services Manager explained this was due to limited operations during Covid, particularly test purchase operations.  These had now resumed. 

32.3    Councillor Simson queried why all the Reviews had been applied for by Sussex Police and asked if the council needed to be more proactive about informing residents of their right to call for Reviews.  The Regulatory Services Manager said they did inform residents and supported them with the process.

32.4    Councillor O’Quinn highlighted that councillors could also call Reviews and said they should be informed of this as part of their training.  

32.5    Councillor Knight suggested a presentation at Group meetings about what councillors can do to help residents with licensing matters.

32.6    RESOLVED – That the Schedule of Reviews be noted.
