The Board received a report setting out proposals for expanding the Registered Providers Partnership (RPP) to include Registered Providers (RPs) in the Borough.

In order to deliver the level of Affordable Housing required in the Borough, particularly in the current economic climate, the existing RPP needed to be expanded. It was envisaged that expansion of the RPP would also result in a greater number of RPs signing up to the Council’s nominations agreement.

In response to concerns the Board was advised that there would be further opportunities for Members of the Board to influence how the partnership arrangements would function in practice.

Members of the Board representing RSLs expressed their support for the proposals.

RESOLVED:

1. That there was agreement, in principal, to the expansion of the Registered Providers Partnership.

2. That the partnership agreement/protocol and associated Service Level Agreements covering standards of management, development, maintenance, joint working and nominations and lettings appended to the report should be circulated to the relevant staff, Members and stock holding Registered Providers for consultation.
