The housing overview and scrutiny committee consists
of seven councillors, five tenants and leaseholder representatives,
and two independent community representatives. The non-councillor members are co-opted members
and have the right to vote.

council's landlord and housing management functions

advise the cabinet 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 arrangements 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 cabinet
Full details of the housing overview and scrutiny
committee are set out in the constitution.
