Report of the Director of Community & Children’s Services.

Members received a report of the Director of Community and Children’s Services on the events and activities on the City of London social housing estates. Officers reported that the 2013/14 Estate Satisfaction Survey had been completed by a total of 932 households representing a 33.46% return rate.
