The Executive considered the Performance and Financial Monitoring Information (Green Book), September 2018 and October 2018. Regarding the number of empty homes brought back into use, the Executive was informed that activity in the area had started again following a previous concentration by Officers on the new licensing scheme. It was highlighted that empty homes brought back into use would not necessarily be affordable.
Following a question regarding the market, the Executive was informed that it was considered to be in the best long-term position for the Council to run the market itself. Officers confirmed that it was business as usual and the market was not closing. It was highlighted that some locations within the market would change due to the Victoria Square development works.
Members also discussed fly tipping, Robin Hood and Rutland, and affordable housing.
