Agenda item

The Committee considered its work programme for the remainder of the 21/22 municipal year. The Committee were advised that following conversations with the Chairman and Vice-Chairman, Surrey Sports Council, Camberley Cricket Club and Camberley Judo Club would be added to the Committee’s Work Programme.

In addition, Voluntary Support North Surrey and Citizens Advice Surrey Heath, as the 2 largest recipients of the Council Revenue Grant Scheme, would also be fitted into the Committee Work Programme.  Following a suggestion from the Committee, a presentation from Surrey Heath Neighbourhood Watch would also be added to the September meeting of the Committee to allow consideration alongside the Police and Crime Commissioner and the Surrey Heath Borough Commander.

Discussion emanated in respect of the level of service provided by Accent Housing and the borough’s other social housing providers. In particular, there were significant concerns in respect of Accent’s maintenance service. As a result it was agreed that Accent would feature as a recurring item on the Committee’s Work Programme; and the other Housing Trusts which provide services within the Borough also be invited to a dedicated meeting of the Committee.

It was also agreed that an informal meeting between Accent Housing and Councillors would be arranged by officers for before the Committee’s next meeting.

RESOLVED that the Committee’s Work Programme be agreed as amended; and Accent Housing be added as a standing item
