The Committee considered an
analysis of progress against its key performance indicators,
together with a updated risk register and a Council housebuilding /
affordable housing development summary for the first quarter of
2021/22. In response to Members’ questions, it was confirmed
that:

repairs completed within the set timescales) IT problems with a
contractor not receiving e-mail notifications had been
resolved;

to identify the ‘other initiatives’ address the
need for affordable housing … as referred to on page
13 of the agenda pack under KPI HO5 (number of people in urgent
need … on the housing register)
- the commentary for risk references 3 and 4 (inability to deliver
the housing and homelessness strategies) should not refer to a
member Working Group being in place;
- Officers pursue developers as rigorously as possible to secure
fair proportions of affordable housing within residential new build
schemes;
- efforts were on-going to recruit to two vacant surveyor
posts;
- the planned IT system upgrade to enhance the performance of the
housing management software (Orchard) would enable an up to date
stock condition survey which could be shared with
Members;
