Agenda item

Report of the Leaseholder Service Charges Working Party.

The Chairman thanked officers and residents for this excellent example of joint working.

The Chairman of the Underfloor Heating Working Party (UHWP) was in attendance and, whilst he agreed that the meetings were very collegiate, some Members felt that the Working Party had lost some impetus and the meetings could be more constructive.  However, the Chairman UHWP acknowledged the success in installing the new control equipment and suggested that the Working Party be re-structured with a more flexible approach.  Members noted that the background underfloor heating was covered by the service charge  and residents could ask for the trimmer to be adjusted, if they needed more heating.   In concluding, the Chairman of the RCC and Assistant Director, Barbican, Housing and Property Services, agreed to attend a meeting with the Chairman UHWP of the Working Party and Mr Saunders, in order to set some new objectives and timescales.
