Having considered an officer report and a presentation by the Cabinet
Member for Housing, Councillor Damien Egan, the Mayor agreed that:

supply of social housing, the increase in homelessness and the large number
of homeless households living in temporary accommodation be noted;
(2) the impacts of national government housing policies and the ongoing
impacts of welfare reform be noted which have contributed to this situation
and mean that the housing pressures are likely to continue.
(3) having considered the results of the consultation and the Equality Analysis
Assessment, the Private Rented Sector Offers Policy be approved; and
(4) authority be delegated to the Executive Director for Customer Services to
make any minor changes required to the policy.
