The Board considered the report of the Head of Housing and Community Services regarding the proposed Tenancy Strategy.

The Head of Housing and Community Services presented apologies on behalf of the Cabinet Member for Leisure and Community Services who had hoped to be able to attend this meeting. 

The Board were given suggested amendments to Sections 3, 5, 6 and 7 of the Tenancy Strategy which have been proposed following consultation with our local housing association partners and an adviser from the Chartered Institute of Housing. 

One Member disagreed with the removal of the paragraph regarding anti-social behaviour in Section 5.

RESOLVED:

1.  That the Cabinet Member for Leisure and Community Services be recommended to agree the Tenancy Strategy, subject to the amendments set out in the attached appendix.

2.  That Councillor Beerling’s dissent on the exclusion of the paragraph on anti-social behaviour in Section 5 of the Tenancy Strategy be noted.
