Decision details

The Damp and Mould Policy had been amended in preparation for the introduction of Awaab's Law, which would come into force for the social rented sector from 27 October 2025. From this point social landlords would have to address all emergency hazards and all damp and mould hazards that presented a significant risk of harm to tenants to fixed timeframes. The revised Policy described how the Council would manage damp and mould in line with the introduction of Awaab’s Law.

RESOLVED that the revised Damp and Mould Policy be approved.

Reason

This is in accordance with the Council’s corporate priority of Housing – a good quality home for everyone.
