Issue - meetings

That Cabinet note:

a)        the exceptions to performance of the housing service compliance functions; and

b)       the new format for performance for Quarter 4 2024.25 onwards.

The Director – Housing, Health & Wellbeing was in attendance to present the position as of 31 March 2025 (Quarter 4) with regard to compliance including actions to rectify identified issues.

It was reported that the slight reduction in gas servicing compliance was due to a dip in contractor performance.  This was now being address following the contractor appointing a manager to oversee the implementation of the Action Plan.  Additional engineers had also been appointed to reduce the number of properties out of compliance.  In total there were 4 homes where the oil service and solid fuel service had not been completed with work ongoing to contact the tenants.  In relation to EICR electrical certification compliance, work was ongoing towards being 100% compliant and being 6 months in advance of renewal of certification.  It was reported that there had been recruitment issues to key posts to fulfil fire safety checks and this had now been resolved with internal and external resource now in place.

AGREED     (unanimously) that Cabinet note:

a)               the exceptions to performance of the housing service compliance functions; and

b)               the new format for performance for Quarter 4 2024.25 onwards.
