Report of the Director of Community and Children’s Services

The Committee received a report of the Director of Community and Children’s Services updating Trustees on the Gresham Almshouses and City of London Almshouses in Lambeth.

The Director of Community and Children’s Services reported that there had been a limited response to the recent cat survey, noting that there were not enough residents in favour to justify changing the existing policy.

Members discussed the outcome of the survey. Whilst there were ways to mitigate some of the issues, Members recognised that there was a lack of desire and that a majority of residents would need to be in favour for there to be grounds to introduce a new policy.

The Committee was advised that officers were in regular contact with residents and could undertake another survey in the future, or survey new residents when they moved in to the building to assess potential change in the overall mood.

RESOLVED – That the report be noted.
