Received a report suggesting proposals to change the current policy on the letting and management of Council owned garages following a report to the Scrutiny Management Board on 25 June 2003 (Minute 12 refers).
Councillor Fairbrass declared an interest in this item.
Agreed, in order to reduce the void level for garages by 10% in the next financial year and to ensure that rental income is maximised and the repair and cleanliness of garages can be enhanced, to:
a) The provision of additional security to garage sites.
b) The demolition of deteriorated sites where this is considered to be the only viable option.
c) The continuation of a refurbishment programme, to be delegated to the Director of Housing and Health in consultation with the relevant Community Housing Partnership Boards.
