RESOLVED:

That the revised Home-Link Lettings Policy, as contained in Appendix A to Report No CAB/FH/16/008, be approved.

(Report No CAB/FH/16/008)

Councillor Sara Mildmay-White, St Edmundsbury Borough Council Portfolio Holder for Housing (and also being the shared lead Councillor for Housing with Forest Heath District Council) presented this report which sought approval for a revised Home-Link Lettings Policy.

Councillor Mildmay-White drew relevant issues to the attention of the Cabinet, including that Home-Link was the Choice Based Lettings (CBL) scheme for the Cambridgeshire and West Suffolk Housing sub-region.  Each Local Authority had its own Lettings Policy and was responsible for implementing any changes to that Policy.  Many elements of the Lettings Policy had been agreed across the sub-region and these could not be amended without agreement of all local authorities across the sub-region.

Councillor Mildmay-White also thanked the Officers within the Housing Team for the work which had been undertaken on the revision of this Policy.

The Cabinet considered the proposed changes set out in Appendix A attached to the report to be acceptable.

With the vote being unanimous, it was

RESOLVED:

That the revised Home-Link Lettings Policy, as contained in Appendix A to Report No CAB/FH/16/008, be approved.
