Purpose: This sets out recommendations from Scrutiny for the consideration of Cabinet. These recommendations originate from the meeting of the Homes Sub-Committee on 29 September 2025.   Scrutiny’s recommendations highlight potential opportunities for the Council to enhance monitoring and evaluation of delivered work, and to find more equitable funding solutions.   Should these recommendations be taken forward, they could help deliver on the priorities in the Executive Mayor’s Business Plan, including balancing the Council’s books, delivering sustainable services, and promoting good governance (Outcome 1, Priorities 1 and 4), and that Croydon is a cleaner, safer and healthier place, a borough we’re proud to call home (Outcome 4, Priorities 3 and 4).

Content: For the reasons as set out in this report and appendices, the Executive Mayor and Cabinet RESOLVED to agree to:   1. Receive the recommendations arising from the meeting of the Homes Sub Committee on 29 September 2025 (Appendix 1).   2. Provide a substantive response to the recommendations (a Scrutiny Stage 2 Report) at the Cabinet meeting on 25 March 2026.
