Board Meeting
As flagged up last week, Wednesday evening saw the months High Peak
Community Housing Board Meeting.
Whilst it was a reasonable long meeting, there's not much to report on at
current with some of the items under discussion including scheduled to go
elsewhere for comments, with the changes to the housing options scheme up
for discussion at the next meeting of the council's social inclusion select
committee.
Also flagged up and unfortunately still on hold for the moment was what is
happening following the announcement from the government that the guideline
rent which has been used to set the increase in council house rent this year
would be reduced meaning in turn that this year rent increase would also be
reduced.
We were advised that at current further details on how the change would be
implemented are still awaited by the council, but are expected in the near
future.
