Decision details

A report to seek approval from Cabinet Member on the proposed consultation plan for two key housing projects (A Fresh Approach to Engagement and the Conditions of Tenancy Review).

That the Cabinet Member for Neighbourhoods and Community Safety:-

(i) approves the consultation proposals outlined in the report;

(ii) authorises the Director of Housing and Neighbourhoods to take the necessary steps to implement the consultation proposals; and

(iii) notes that each project will be the subject of a further executive report when the consultation has been concluded.

The consultation plan described in the report will achieve the best outcomes in terms of reaching a wide audience – not just the ‘traditional’ participants, but making the best use of online channels and social media, also younger tenants who traditionally don’t always engage in consultations.

The option to consult separately on the projects was considered but for reasons described in paragraph 1.4 of the report this was not considered to be the best option.
