Minutes:

Meredydd Hughes presented the report of the Head of Housing and Property Services, for which a detailed budget book for the individual areas had been given to the Cabinet Member and Spokespersons, setting out the plans for works over the next year.  There would however be some flexibility to allow for projects which may need addressing during the year.

 

Councillor Potter asked about the planned works on houses in the Paulsgrove area and it was confirmed that the 7 year capital programme would include works on the non-traditional houses there.  Councillor Sanders requested information on the spending on Housing IT over the last 5 years, which would be provided to him.

 

Councillor Wemyss welcomed the sensible planning ahead, which still allowed a degree of flexibility for where more urgent maintenance was required.  He would favour small capital projects where the opportunity arose to help relieve pressure on parking for residents in the city.
