Agenda item - The Future Arrangements for Repairs and Maintenance

61.1    Sharon Davies introduced this report about the future arrangements when the contract with Mears ceased in 2020. She confirmed that as a Team they were keen to continue engagement with  everyone. She confirmed there was a paper proposing a task and finish group consisting of 12 resident to reflect the tenure of the housing stock. There would be two leaseholders, two reps from the Home Service Improvement group, four from the Area Panel Group and others from the Business & Value for Money group plus two volunteers.  The group would still feed in from the Area panels and report back into the Home Group. Sharon distributed a handout on the kind of issues people would take on, demonstrating a variety of different areas that people could get involved in.

61.2    In response to a query on the percentages stated in paragraph 2.23, she confirmed that 18 per cent was the equivalent to 2 leaseholders.

61.3    Alison Grime – resident was nominated and seconded as Rep and Muriel Bryant  - resident was nominated for the Leaseholder side.

61.4    RESOLVED: That the panel agreed to note the report.
