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

Members received a report of the Director of Community and Children’s Services in respect of the tenancy visits programme.  Members were pleased to note the success of the programme with 432 successful visits so far (25%) and tenant confidence rising with the number of completed visits.  Follow up visits had been arranged where necessary.  Members asked for their thanks to the Chamberlain to go on record for his support in this project. 

In response to a question, Members noted that staff were very experienced in assisting with hoarding and worked with specialists and environmental health colleagues where necessary.  Members were pleased to note this outcome as the visits were helping to raise awareness of a potentially serious condition which had mental and physical health implications.

RESOLVED, that – the report be noted.
