Committee details

The Housing Executive was a committee that advised on and made recommendations about the Council’s housing landlord function. This included reviewing the operation and effectiveness of the council’s resident engagement arrangements.  Its activities followed an annual action plan based on recommendations from the Residents’ Improvement Taskforce.

The Housing Executive was disbanded in 2014. Responsibility for Executive decisions was transferred to the Executive, and responsibility for reviewing services transferred to the Housing Scrutiny Committee.
