Report of the Executive Director Wellbeing and Housing setting out progress made and outstanding action that is still required to help address the areas of limited assurance in the Audit report.

The Committee received and noted the report of the Executive Director Wellbeing and Housing providing and update on the Housing Voids and Action Plan that had been put into place following areas of limited assurance in a recent audit.

The Committee noted that the report was not good reading identifying Southampton as the 2^nd worst nationally, whilst an improvement action plan was in place it was not expected to see huge improvement until Quarter 4 2023 when it was expected that performance would start to Plato with clear improvement in Quarter 1 2024.

The Committee requested that a progress report be presented to a future meeting on performance but also detailing the breakdown of voids and by Wards across the City.
