The Head of Housing and Community Services introduced the report and explained the results of the residents’ and stakeholder survey and how that would influence the priorities within the draft Housing Strategy. Due to the low response rate from housing providers, separate discussions would be held so that their delivery and future plans could be considered when agreeing the strategy.

In response to questions, the Head of Housing and Community Services explained that the survey results were anonymous so it would not be possible to ascertain which housing providers had responded.

RESOLVED: That the outcome of the consultation and next steps towards adopting a new Housing Strategy be noted.
