To provide an update on compliance with the decent homes standard.

Members were provided with an update on compliance with the Decent Homes standard statutory safety regulations and the current position of the responsive repairs backlog.

Members requested that their thanks be extended to all staff within the housing team for their appreciation of work carried out including the trade persons that carried out very skilled jobs with professionalism.
