Cabinet Member for Housing

Additional documents:

Decision:

It was RESOLVED:-

 

That the decision taken under delegated powers by the Chief Executive to approve the Regulatory Reform Order during the pre-election period be noted.

 

Reason for Decision: The Cabinet Meeting has been cancelled due to the ‘pre-election period’ for the General Election taking place on 12th December 2019. This meant that the Policy could not be considered until January 2020 which could result in funding being delayed.

Under Part 2 of the Constitution, Delegations to Officers, Paragraph 7.2 (page 68-69), the decision must be reported to the next ordinary meeting of the appropriate Committee/Cabinet.

 

Any Declarations of Interest Declared: None

 

Any Dispensation Granted: None

Minutes:

The Cabinet Member for Housing provided background information to the decision made by the Chief Executive in conjunction with the Chair of the Council under delegated powers during the pre-election period.

 

It was confirmed, following a question from Councillor Arthey, that the Chief Executive agreed the Disabled Adaptations Policy and not the awards granted under the policy. Councillor Osborne confirmed that the policy would be forwarded to Cabinet Members.

 

The recommendation was moved by Councillor Osborne and seconded by Councillor Parker.
