Review of Council-owned Adapted Accommodation Additional documents: Minutes: The Scrutiny & Elections Officer presented the final version of the review report to Members, following extensive consultation on the final draft with service officers and the Portfolio Holder (Housing). Members agreed the report was an accurate reflection of the evidence that had been discussed during the course of the review.
The Scrutiny & Elections Officer notified Members of specific comments by the service managers during the drafting of the final report:
(1) Whilst officers appreciated the desire to improve mapping of the housing stock data, it was felt that mapping within Local Insight (Recommendation 1.5) would not be as beneficial as mapping within the GIS system (Recommendation 1.4) as the population deprivation data was not necessarily reflective of our tenant population. As such it was felt the recommendation would not lead to any noticeable improvements for the work that would be involved in implementation.
(2) Whilst officers appreciate the demographic analysis completed, again it was noted that this was reflective of the whole of the population in the District, not out tenant population. As such, while useful data, it may not be a fully accurate indication of where demand would come from.
Based on officer comments, the Scrutiny & Elections Officer asked Members to consider whether Recommendation 1.5 should be removed as it would not add value.
Moved by Councillor Ray Heffer and seconded by Councillor Rose Bowler RESOLVED that Recommendation 1.5 be removed from the report prior to submission to Executive for approval. (Scrutiny & Elections Officer)
