The Housing Select Committee monitors, reviews and makes
recommendations about a wide range of local housing matters,
including homelessness, housing conditions and affordable
housing.
It gives local councillors the opportunity to question
council officers and cabinet members and to influence the decisions
made by the Mayor and Cabinet in relation to housing. It also
enables councillors to hear from local residents, housing
providers, and other interested
groups.
The Committee chooses the housing-related issues it wants
to focus on each year and holds five public meetings. The agenda
and papers for each are published online in advance.
