The Service Lead Housing (Customers) presented the report setting out the business case for increasing the staffing provision (for up to 18 months on a fixed term basis) to ensure that the approved Fire Safety Management Policy was introduced and implemented effectively. This was to ensure that the Council’s agreed approach of Clear and Safe for Escape routes was effectively implemented.
He advised that it was important the Council worked with Tenants, Leaseholders and the Fire Service to implement the Fire Safety Policy which included addressing overcrowding, looking at storage and the circulation of an educational video. The Section 151 Officer commented that, if approved, the budget would be added to the Housing Revenue Account (HRA) and managed within the HRA’s medium term financial plan.
The Portfolio Holder for Housing Revenue Account supported the commitment to work with tenants and leaseholders to implement the Fire Safety Policy.
