Decision Maker: Cabinet

Outcome: For Determination

Is Key Decision?: Yes

Is Callable In?: No

Date of Decision: June 17, 2025

Purpose:

Content: For the reasons set out in the report and its appendices Cabinet RESOLVED to Agree to note:   i)  The Council’s progress to date on the development and implementation of its response to the Regulator of Social Housing’s report; and ii)  The further plans to drive improvements and bring the service into full compliance with the regulatory consumer standards set out in Appendix 2, and summarised in Appendix 1.   Alternatives Considered   a)  Do nothing: given the C4 rating, it is not possible for the Council to do nothing. Under the terms of the Social Housing Regulation Act 2023, the Council is required to comply with the Regulator’s judgement and reach compliance with the Consumer Standards. C4 and C3 ratings are non-compliant, so in order to achieve compliance, the Council would be required to meet a C2 or C1 grade.
