(Report attached.)

The Head of Scrutiny and Member Development submitted a report which provided Members with monitoring information in relation to the previous Inquiry into Housing Conditions. The inquiry had been undertaken during the previous Municipal Year by the Children and Young People Scrutiny Board.

Members were reminded that provision was made for the Board to monitor the implementation of any agreed actions and recommendations on a six-monthly basis.

The Board requested that Neil Evans, Director of Neighbourhoods and Housing, ask the department to give serious consideration to granting Priority Extra status to tenants in larger properties who wished to downsize, so as to free up more family housing.

RESOLVED – That the contents of the report be noted.
