Tai Tarian - Local Letting Policies PDF 172 KB Report of the Head of Commissioning, Support and Direct Services Minutes: Cabinet Members took on board
the views of the Scrutiny Committee, which had discussed the report in its
meeting immediately prior to the Cabinet Board. Cabinet Members felt that the
report should be deferred at today’s meeting, to allow further information to
be included as follows: · A screening assessment had been completed, with the
outcome that no Equalities Impact Assessment (EIA) was necessary, but Members
felt that an EIA should nonetheless be completed due to the vulnerable nature
of homeless people (even though homelessness was not defined as a protected
characteristic); · Cabinet Members wanted additional legal information
included within the report around the Authority’s statutory duty to
homelessness. They also wanted figures included in the report relating to
homeless and potentially homeless households within the Authority; · Cabinet Members wanted the impact of the ‘Bush Row’
Local Letting Policy assessed in relation to the wider community (ie if the recommendation was approved, would the problems
mentioned in the report be forced into other areas?); · Members expressed concern about giving delegated
powers to the Head of Commissioning, Support and Direct Services as they felt
such policies should be brought for discussion and approval by the Cabinet
Board. Decision: That the report be deferred
until further information had been included in relation to the points
identified above. Reason for Decision: Member’s required more
information before making a decision on the recommendations contained within
the report. Implementation of Decision: The decision will be
implemented after the three day call in period. |
