Minutes:

The Director of Independent Living reported that the use of Local Lettings Policies had been agreed in 2008 (Minute No. J114 of 24th November, 2008 refers) and were reviewed every 6 months.  The Authority had successfully attained funding for the development and building of new Council housing and it was, therefore, proposed that any prospective tenant must comply with the Local Letting Policy.

 

Details of the Policy were set out in Appendix 1 of the report submitted but was designed to give preference to Council tenants and release existing Council properties to other applicants on the housing register.

 

Resolved:-  (1)  That wide consultation on the proposed Local Lettings Policy for new building housing take place.

 

(2)  That a report be submitted before the end of November, 2010.
