Agenda item

7.1

The report sought approval of a new policy on gas servicing. There has not been a policy relating to gas servicing before as there has been legal and statutory duties to carry out annual safety inspections. This policy provides a clear position statement of those duties and Sheffield City Council’s commitment to achieve 100% compliance.
