Report of the Director of Community & Children’s Services

This report sought to clarify how the division of service charges in the 2011/12 Revenue Outturn Report relates to the service charge schedules provided to long lessees.

During discussions and questions, clarity was sought in respect of the following:

Annex 2

Special Works Safety and Security £93,600.51 - this item had been included in the asbestos works (£40,384.55) and the safety and security works (£53,216.06) mentioned above.

Engineers – The Head of Technical Service had been tasked with maximising efficiencies and managing the maintenance officer.  The new resident engineer would be living in a smaller property and this would be reflected in the service charge. 

Water tank replacement – Members noted that these works were on hold as resources had been diverted to the concrete testing. Members noted that not all premises would require replacement tanks and the new Section 20 Notices would accurately reflect the level of works required. 

Frobisher Crescent - The officer advised that, in respect of heating charges for Frobisher Crescent, there were no charges for boiler maintenance, just gas based on meter readings.
