Agenda item

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

The Committee considered a report of the Director of Community and Children’s Services in respect of an access policy for cyclical electrical testing.  Members noted that the proposed new policy would set out formally the City Corporation’s approach to gaining access to complete a fixed wire test in those properties that are difficult to access.

The officer explained that such policies were necessary for example, as evidence of clearly set out and communicated procedures for tenants in the event of Ombudsman referrals and, whilst there was currently no formal policy in respect of electrical works, there was in respect of gas works.  Members suggested that all other services requiring access policies be collated and added to the list at item 9 above*.

RESOLVED, that – the ‘No Access – Electrical Safety Policy’ be approved for use under the Electrical Testing Programme.
