The Minutes of the meeting held on 11 June 2019 were
confirmed and authorised to be signed by the Chair with amendment to Agenda
Item 4, last bullet point to read:
Members raised concerns about the contract awarded for the
refurbishment of Beckmill Court. Officers were requested to provide
reassurance, in relation to landlord health and safety, that Melton Borough
Council was fully aware of all risks in relation to fire and electrical safety
in council housing. Members also queried
whether the regulator for social housing should be informed in light of the
concerns raised.
Concerns were raised in respect of the cost of the project
and tenancy management as the original costs for the project were estimated at
£3.1m against a tender cost of £2.2m, it was requested that officers report
back what considerations were given at the time as to why the estimated costs
differed so greatly.
It was further requested, in relation to housing management of the block, for officers to report back to Members if the Council was now spending less on day-to-day repairs and voids and how the scheme is performing financially.
