RESOLVED that 1) an expenditure budget as outlined within the report to deliver the West Street social housing building scheme be approved,
2) the Council to enter into contract for the development of a further 5 properties in Whaley Thorns as outlined in the report be approved.

To deliver the Council’s aspirational target of building a minimum of 150 new Council properties by March 2024.
