AGREED that Cabinet endorse the Damp & Mould Policy for approval as recommended by the Local Influence Network Chairs.

The Portfolio Holder for Housing and the Business Manager – Housing Maintenance & Asset Management presented a report which set out and sought approval for a Damp & Mould Policy which set out the Council’s approach to tackling and preventing damp and mould in Council owned homes.  It was noted that the Policy Performance & Improvement Committee and the Tenant Engagement Board had both recommended approval of the policy.

AGREED      (unanimously) that Cabinet endorse the Damp & Mould Policy for approval as recommended by the Local Influence Network Chairs.

Reasons for Decision:

As detailed in the report, to meet legislative requirements and adhere to guidance and regulations.

Options Considered:

There are no viable alternatives and taking no action would mean failure to meet our regulatory requirement to ensure that we have measures in place to appropriately tackle cases of damp and mould and keep tenants safe in their homes.
