Housing Review Board
What does this committee do?
The Housing Review Board consists of 5 Council Members, 5 tenant and leaseholder representatives and 2 independent community representatives. Councillor membership reflects the Council's political balance. The non-councillor members are co-opted members. The Board elects its own chair. Normally Board members will serve for a maximum of six years, subject to annual reappointment by the Council, with the objective that every three years one third of the committee will stand down.
The role of the Housing Review Board is to:
- Consider matters relating to the Council's landlord and housing management functions.
- Advise the Council's Executive Board on housing policy and operational practice, where this affects the Council's tenants and leaseholders.
- Keep under review the housing stock options appraisal and monitor the conditions which will influence the future arrrangements for the ownership and management of the Council's housing stock.
- Promote good practice and monitor service delivery
- Examine subjects and issues as directed by the Executive Board
The committee is also responsible for examining any matters that arise from portfolio holders.
The committee reviews service delivery options, following consultation exercises.
Full details of the Housing Review Board and other committees and their terms of reference are set out in the EDDC Constitution.
Meetings
The Housing Review Board meets at least four times a year, usually on a Thursday evening at 6.30pm. Its meetings are open to the public, except for specific items where a statutory exclusion applies.
