Received a report setting out proposals for the establishment of a Neighbourhood Caretaking Service to service all the Council’s flatted estates; the redeployment of existing staff, the recruitment of new staff and the acquisition of new equipment for the service.

Agreed, in order to ensure a comprehensive, high quality and consistent caretaking service for all flatted estates, that the Director of Housing and Health:

1. Establishes the new Neighbourhood Caretaking Service to enable the phased roll-out of the service across the Borough this year; and

2. Implements the new service through the assimilation of existing staff and recruitment of new staff, and the purchase of new equipment.
