Open overview and scrutiny investigations

Resident engagement in housing development

The Housing Select Committee recently concluded a scrutiny review of resident engagement in housing development – the way that local people are informed and involved in the process when new homes are built in their area.

The review looked into how the Council and its partners engage with communities around regeneration and housing development and what has been learned from previous engagement activity. 

For more information you can read the scoping paper.

At its meeting on 30 January the committee agreed a series of recommendations to Mayor and Cabinet. A response to these recommendations is expected around April/May.

Thank you to everyone who submitted their views.
