Decision details

The Head of Regeneration and Housing submitted an exempt report on the Restructure of the Regeneration and Housing Development Team (previously Delivery Team) and advised of the proposed structural changes to the Regeneration and Housing Delivery Team.

Some Executive members of the Committee raised concern that they were not aware of the report. The Head of Regeneration and Housing clarified that both the Lead Member for Housing and Lead Member for Regeneration and Estates had been fully briefed and informed throughout. It was further clarified that the decision had not been taken to Executive as the decision, as a personnel matter, was outside their scope and remit.

Resolved

(1)          That the proposed revised structure of the team and the change to the title and description of the team now to be known as the Housing Regeneration and Development Team be noted.

(2)          That, subject to the Director of Resources, in consultation with the Lead Member for Financial Management, being satisfied that existing budgets within Regeneration and Housing had been clearly identified and were vired to address the funding shortfall highlighted in the business case, the revised structure and the proposed approach to implementing the structural amendments be approved.

(Councillor Atack requested that his abstention from the vote be recorded. Councillor Reynolds asked that his vote against the proposal be recorded.)
