The Director of Finance, Housing and Community introduced the Performance Report Quarter 1 2018/19.

 

There were 4 red performance indicators (out of 31 total indicators) for Quarter 1 as followed:

 

East Kent Housing

 

·         EKHL1 (Average time taken to re-let council dwellings)

·         EKHC2 (Rent arrears as % of annual debit)

·         EKHC3 (Former tenant arrears as % of annual debit)

 

Dover District Council

·         HOU010b (Number of households in bed and breakfast – last day of the quarter)

 

 

The Chief Executive of East Kent Housing advised that in respect of indicator EKHL1, this was due to problems with the contractor turning around empty properties and it was expected that it would be back on track by Quarter 2 2018/19.

 

In respect of the arrears, it was stated that 7 people per day were moving onto Universal Credit in the district and according to national studies it could on average take up to 2 years for arrears arising from Universal Credit to be resolved.

 

In respect of amber indicator EKHM5 (percentage of properties with a valid gas safety certification) it was stated that this was down to a single property where they were having problems obtaining access.

 

Members were advised that the Council had purchased a number of properties to boost the amount of council owned temporary accommodation in order to get people out of bed and breakfast and was looking at other solutions.

 

RESOLVED: That the Performance Report Quart 1, 2018/19 be noted.
