Additional Housing Officer: British Citizenship applications from the British Overseas Territories
From: Constitution - Monday, 27th October, 2025 - October 27, 2025
On Friday 5 May 2023, the Chief Executive, after consulting with the Mayor, decided that this decision was urgent and could not wait until the next Full Council meeting to approve funds. This is with regard to requiring urgent funds to employ extra Housing Officers, who are needed so the Council can support and handle the extra demands that will be placed on the team, following the processing of British Citizenship applications from the British Overseas Territories. We have been informed from the relevant Government Departments (HO/FCDO) that they will be looking to issue determination decisions shortly and therefore we need to be prepared. There is no capacity in the current team to absorb this work.
