Issue - meetings

The Strategic Director: Services (Interim) and Head of Housing Policy and Projects introduced the report and responded to questions as summarised below.

The Head of Housing Policy and Projects emphasised that the Council continued to appreciate the input from TACT, but the scheme was intended to encourage other tenants, including those from younger households to participate in consultation.  In response to concerns that tenants who were not able to access the internet would be excluded, she confirmed that in most cases, digital surveys would be used in addition to other methods of consultation.  Similarly, the Digital Readers’ Panel would operate alongside the existing Readers’ Panel.

On behalf of TACT, Michael Fawcitt supported the report and thanked the Head of Housing Policy and Projects for attending a recent meeting of TACT to present its contents.

The Committee agreed to the following for the reasons outlined above and set out in the report.

RESOLVED:

            That the incentive scheme be approved as set out in the report.
