I am pleased to report that I have been re-appointed to the Board of Cornwall Housing Ltd for the term of this Council. I have left the description of my work in the previous council below. I am committed to the future of Social Housing within Cornwall
My work within the Council has concentrated around housing issues and I have worked with both tenants and officers to take this forward. Cornwall Housing Ltd is an Arms Length Management Organisation which will manage the Council’s stock of housing. The decision to follow this route for future management was taken by the tenants themselves after long and detailed investigation of all the options available. I applied for membership of the Shadow Board, which will become the definitive Board on 1st April 2012, following my involvement in this process. I was very pleased to be appointed by the Council as one of their 6 representatives who sit alongside 6 tenant directors and a further 6 independents. A period of very intensive work up to April is expected in order to set up the new company.
