Fareham Housing Repairs Policy - Consultation
From: Executive - Tuesday, 3rd September, 2024 6.00 pm - September 03, 2024
To seek Executive approval for the draft Fareham Housing Repairs and Maintenance policy to go forward for consultation for a period of six weeks. The Housing Act 1985 (as amended) places a number of obligations on landlords regarding the upkeep of their properties. All social housing tenants also have the ‘right to repair’ and for these to be conducted within a specific timeframe. Recent legislative changes and the new consumer standards set by the Regulator of Social Housing (RSH) have imposed further requirements around repairs, maintenance and planned improvements. It provides comprehensive information regarding the Repairs’ service responsibilities and processes, background and relevant legislation. A period of 6 weeks public consultation will be undertaken on the draft policy before it returns to the Executive for formal adoption. At its meeting of 11 July 2024, the Housing Scrutiny Panel considered the policy and no comments or suggestions were made, other than to clarify the consultation period. This was clarified and is set out in points 24-26 below.
Recommendations Approved
Anti-social Behaviour Policy - Adoption
From: Executive - Tuesday, 3rd September, 2024 6.00 pm - September 03, 2024
To seek approval from the Executive to adopt Fareham’s Anti-Social Behaviour Policy, following public consultation. The Anti-Social Behaviour Act 2003 requires Local Authorities to prepare an Anti-Social Behaviour Policy. The Anti-Social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014 sets out powers to deal with Anti-Social Behaviour. There are also powers under the Housing Act 1985 and Housing Act 1996 to assist in combatting Anti-Social Behaviour. In April 2024, the Housing Regulator introduced Housing Consumer Standards pursuant to the Social Housing (Regulation) Act 2023, which brings in a requirement for Registered Social Landlords to ensure that tenants can live in safe environments. The proposed Anti-Social Behaviour Policy fulfils the requirements of the above legislation.
