Minutes:
The Cabinet Member for Housing and Estate Renewal introduced the report which sought agreement to the award of a contract to enable internal improvement works to 300 dwellings in the Woodside, Stroud Green, Noel Park and Bounds Green area.
The proposed works would bring all homes up to the full Decent HomesStandard. The overall project will contribute towards achieving Haringey Council’s objectives to increase the number of homes achieving the Decent Homes Standard across the borough. This would ensure all homes were safe and improved resident satisfaction.
The Cabinet Member outlined that the overall population of these wards mirrored that seen in Haringey more widely. Households in areas like Bounds Green were more likely to be rented by social housing tenants than the average within the borough. However, areas such as Stroud Green have smaller proportion of social housing tenants and a slightly larger proportion of owner/occupiers. The wards in this area have a mixture of high -rise blocks and non-traditional dwellings.
In response to Councillor Cawley- Harrison’s questions on: the communication with residents about the proposed works, ensuring the quality of the works, compensation to any tenants for any works that fall below the required standard and potential vacation of properties of the works, the following information was provided by the Cabinet Member and Director for Broadwater Farm.
