Agenda item

Craig Ecclestone, Programme Manager, introduced the item. He outlined progress on the One Public Estate Programme, advising that the new Housing Minister had announced funding awards over the next three years in 40 council areas. Officers were looking at attracting more institutional investment. The money from MHCLG meant there would be more of a focus on housing delivery within the programme. Work had been commissioned to review work on One Public Estate – the final report was due in the spring. A full update would be provided at the next board meeting.

·         Members briefly reflected on engaging the private sector in the programme.

Decision:

1.    Members noted the update.

Action:

1.    Officers to proceed with work in line with members’ comments.
