RESOLVED:

To approve the Good Neighbourhood Policy, appended to the report of the Executive Member for Homes and Communities, for implementation in the delivery of the Council’s housing services.

Reasons for the decision – The Policy had been developed to capture the Council’s commitment to support residents, many of whom experienced issues of anti-social behaviour, setting expectations of resident behaviour and how to be a good neighbour and the expectations of Islington Council. This aligned with the Council’s ambition for a more equal future.  In addition, the service commitment set out how Islington would deliver services to ensure they were fair, inclusive and accessible and plans for achieving this, meeting the expectation on the Council as a social landlord from the Regulator of Social Housing and the Housing Ombudsman.

Other options considered – all as detailed in the report

Conflicts of interest / dispensations granted – none
