Decision details

The Executive received the report which set out the Business Case for the re-structuring of the Housing Tenancy Services which would allow for a change to the service and providing future team resilience to deliver new and existing services to the Council’s tenants. Members were referred to the report which showed the proposed changes.

Particular reference was made to how the new structure would support the Council’s Social House building and Retrofit work and the new Open Housing IT system, which would streamline processes, support the service’s work and enable digitalisation.

RECOMMENDED that Council:-

(1)  approve the Business Case with the restructuring proposals for the Housing Tenancy Services Team;

(2)  note the conclusion of a period of meaningful engagement with the Housing Tenancy Services Team, the Trade Union and the feedback provided to staff as part of the process; and

(3)  approve the additional proposed revised establishment budget as presented in the report, and include on-costs.
