Report of the Housing Asset & Compliance Manager and the Housing Buildings Manager.

The Assistant Director – Housing and Revenues presented the draft Housing Services Domestic Gas and Heating Safety Policy 2024-2029 and members were informed that the policies set out the Local Authority’s legal obligations in relation to gas and electrical safety, together with the responsibilities for our staff, contractors and our tenants, to ensure they are not put at risk from the effects of gas and electricity.

We were informed that all works are carried out by fully qualified staff with full safety checks on homes requiring work and that as a housing provider, the Council takes all reasonable steps to ensure compliance and mitigate risks arising from health and safety assessments.

RESOLVED - Members noted the content of the report and supported its onward submission to 16 July 2024 Cabinet.
