Minutes:

The six strategic priorities listed in the report and action plan, which were the same as those under the previous administration were highlighted. The council was now a registered provider and a part time Housing Manager had recently been appointed. Five units has been purchased under the Rough Sleepers Accommodation Project. Three sites had been put out for Expressions of Interest under the Brownfield Release Fund. It was planned to purchase up to 25 properties by Spring 2023. Before the housing company could start trading it would be necessary to carry out a review of the council’s assets which was being done by the council’s legal department and outside legal advisors. Formal documents would follow when the asset review was complete.
