To seek approval on the refreshed Repairs Policy in accordance with the Council’s Corporate Priority of Housing – a good quality home for everyone. The refreshed Policy has been considered by the Policy Overview Working Group and the Housing Influence Panel.

The upcoming launch of the new Asset Management and Repair Scheduling Solution would give the Housing Repairs Team a more robust system. It was prudent to refresh the Repairs Policy in preparation for the implementation of the new system, to ensure clarity of roles and responsibilities, definitions and the relationship between Housing Repairs and Asset Management.

RESOLVED that the updated Repairs Policy be approved.

Reason

This is in accordance with the Council’s Corporate Priority of Housing: a good quality home for all.
