To consider the report of the Cabinet Member for Housing, seeking formal approval for expenditure on various projects, in accordance with Financial Procedure Rules.
The Capital Programme Update report presented to Council on 15th September 2010 requested £1.6m be brought forward from 2011/12 and that this money be used to improve kitchens and bathrooms within the Harefield and Central areas and also some sheltered properties with these improvements being completed by the end of the financial year. Further approval will be sought for additional funding for heating replacement to continue the existing programme of replacement of uneconomic and/or asbestos containing boilers, and further improvement to communal areas in supported housing.
The proposed schemes will contribute to the Council’s strategic housing objectives through improving the appearance and facilities on our estates and the well-being and satisfaction of our tenants in the areas where they live.
