by Management Team and Cllr Andy Baker, Portfolio Holder for
Housing. Both approved the decision to sign a Memorandum of
Understanding (MOU) to take part in the project. TDC are to be
placed into one of two groups by DLUHC with a brief to deliver
statistical data regarding Damp & Mould in the Private Rented
Sector Housing market. Which group we are placed in will be known
once the MOU is signed and returned. The first group is The
Treatment Group and each LA will receive £130,000, whereas
the second group, The Control Group will be given £11,000. If
we are placed in the Treatment Group there will be an option to
take a temporary member of staff for the duration of the project,
that being one year.
