Report of the Director of Community & Children’s Services (copy attached).

The Sub Committee received a report from the Director of Community and Children’s Services regarding Landlords’ responsibilities for gas safety, as requested at the previous meeting by the Deputy Chairman. With regard to flats not managed by the Corporation, Members discussed the potential for accident as leaseholders had no obligation to ensure gas safety regulations were observed. Officers advised that negotiated boiler servicing rate was offered to leaseholders on a regular basis and, though take up was positive, it was thought that numbers totalled less than 50%.
