In 2017 the Council approved a tenancy strategy and this had been reviewed to bring the document up to date, whilst also providing the opportunity to engage with registered providers of social housing operating in the Borough.

The updated Tenancy Strategy covering the period 2021 to 2026 is included as Appendix A of the report.

A motion was MOVED by Cllr Mrs Pearson and SECONDED by Cllr Russell to agree the recommendations in the report.

Following a discussion a vote was taken and it was RESOLVED that: Members are asked to:

R1. To approve the updated Tenancy Strategy in Appendix A of the report.

Reasons for Recommendation

To ensure that the Housing Department has an updated Tenancy Strategy covering the types of agreement used by the Council and the preferred approach that the Council would like registered providers to adopt in the Borough.
