Decision details

The report of the Head of Housing Services was submitted seeking a number of policy changes to the Exeter Homechoice policy where it is deemed appropriate.

Scrutiny Committee – Community considered the report at their meeting on 5 June 2007 and the support and comments of members were noted. Executive emphasised their view that in the case of emergency card requests arising from anti-social behaviour, the Council would take action against the perpetrator as a matter of priority. The Director Community and Environment undertook to revise the proposed wording to reflect this.   

RESOLVED that, subject to re-wording to emphasise that the Council would take action as a matter of priority against the perpetrators of anti-social behaviour, the changes to the Exeter Homechoice Allocation Policy be approved as outlined in this report.
