Review of Home Renewal Strategy and Housing Capital Grants Policy
The Executive will be aware that a review of the housing grants regime, originally due before the Executive at this meeting has been delayed to allow the Strategic Review Committee to examine the policy implications in more detail and to provide the Executive with a report and recommendations in time for it to inform the 2006-7 budget.
At the meeting held on 6 September 2005 the Strategic Review Committee considered a request from the portfolio holder that they set up a working party alongside her to progress this matter. The committee considered instead that they would prefer to receive a full report and presentation on this from the Assistant Director (housing and community safety) at the November meeting.
A report to the Executive will follow the November meeting of the Strategic Review Committee.
