Housing and Fire Safety Advisory Panel
The panel ensures that our landlord service meets safety regulations for the properties where our tenants and leaseholders live. The panel discusses:
- fire safety in Council homes
- how we are monitoring the condition of our housing stock, including damp and mould
- our compliance with fire, electrical, gas, legionella, asbestos and lift safety checks
