Report of the Director of Housing Services

The Director of Housing, in consultation with the Portfolio Holder, is authorised to confirm the terms of a bid to the Homes and Communities Agency for funding and the appointment of a partner RSL.

Cabinet was advised of two errors on the report.  Firstly, the item was not a key decision.  Secondly, although a ward name was mentioned in the report, a number of sites were being looked at, not specifically in one ward.

As relevant Portfolio Holder, Councillor Beardsworth presented the report to Cabinet and asked them to consider a prospective bid to the Homes and Communities Agency for funding to build new council housing on council owned land. It was made clear that the appointment of an RSL partner would be purely for help in securing the bid and not in relation to the ownership of property.

RESOLVED

That the Director of Housing, in consultation with the Portfolio Holder, be authorised to confirm the terms of a bid to the Homes and Communities Agency for funding and the appointment of a partner RSL.
