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

The Sub Committee received a report of the Executive Director of Community and Children’s Services updating Members on the progress of the Resident

Voice Group.

Officers corrected an error in the report about where members of the group are from, clarifying they are from Southbank Estates, Golden Lane Estate, Isleden House, and Avondale Square Estate.

During discussion, Members sought clarification from officers about purpose of the group. Officers advised the group intends to enable strategic scrutiny across all estates, and the group would be given training to understand how to strategically assess issues all residents are facing. The group does not intend to replace the role of estate-specific residents associations.

The Chairman highlighted the importance of bringing the Sub Committee up to date with the work of the group. A report would be brought to the next Sub Committee meeting about the different ways the Corporation communicates and consults with tenants.

RESOLVED – That, the report be noted.
