9. | PUBLICATION OF ANTI-SOCIAL BEHAVIOUR POLICIES AND PROCEDURES | PART II |
| | |
| This report seeks to inform Members of progress in the delivery of a statutory obligation of the local housing authority to publish policies and procedures in relation to anti-social behaviour. The report also seeks to delegate powers to the Housing Services Manager to make such decisions in the development of those policies as necessary to facilitate the production of high quality documentation to meet this obligation. | Contact Officer: Charles Harman Ext 5287 |
| | |
10. | ORLIT HOMES | PART II |
| | |
| This report notifies the Housing Board of the outcome of a survey process designed to assess the condition of the Council’s 28 concrete ‘Orlit’ houses in Rowan and Cherry Closes and assesses two interim repair options and the potential demolition and redevelopment of the site. The report includes the results of a consultation process with residents of the homes. Due to the non-traditional construction nature of the homes the report concludes that the repairing of them is not an adequate or cost-effective option. This report seeks authority to undertake urgent gable-end and chimney related repairs in the current financial year to properties in the Council’s ownership, begin a decant process and for authority to be given to the Housing Services Manager to develop, in consultation with Ward Councillors, an appropriate regeneration proposal for 30 ‘Orlit’ homes (including two owner-occupied dwellings), the detail of which will be reported to a future meeting of the Board. | Contact Officer: Ralph Facey Ext 5351 |
