Minutes
The report sought delegated authority for the Director of Health and Housing, in consultation with the Cabinet Member for Housing and the Chief Solicitor, to sign the Energy Efficiency/Fuel Poverty contract to enable the Council to deliver its energy efficiency programme across the Borough as part of the West Kent Private Sector Renewal Partnership. The Director of Health and Housing advised that funding had been confirmed for the first year only with indicative financial arrangements for subsequent years. Assurance was sought from the Director of Health and Housing that future reports would monitor the outcome of the range of initiatives incorporated in the programme.
Following consideration by the Strategic Housing Advisory Board, the Cabinet Member for Housing resolved that the Director of Health and Housing, in consultation with the Cabinet Member for Housing and the Chief Solicitor, be given delegated authority to resolve the matter outlined at paragraph 1.2.1 of the report and to enter into a contract with Creative Environmental Network (CEN) that formally commits the Council to funding CEN to administer and deliver energy related works for home owners in the Tonbridge and Malling borough and that such delegated authority not be exercised beyond the limits of the Council's Budget and Policy Framework.
