                   Report of the Service Director Adult Care and Housing Strategy

Councillor John Thomson, Deputy Leader and Cabinet member for Adult Care, Communities and Housing, introduced the report which invited Cabinet to consider and adopt Wiltshire’s first Tenancy Strategy as required by the Localism Act, to set a framework for the housing providers across Wiltshire to have ‘regard to’ when developing their own tenancy policies.

Resolved:

That the Tenancy Policy be formally adopted.

Reasons for decision

The Localism Bill (2012), S150 places a duty on the Local Authority to prepare and publish a Tenancy Strategy by January 2013.
