Consultees

The Draft Housing Strategy will require a wider consultation process with three core audiences:

• Borough residents, including tenants and leaseholders of the Council; tenants, leaseholders and shared owners of Registered Providers (i.e., housing associations); and residents of other tenures in the borough

• Council staff both within the Housing and Regeneration Directorate and wider staff membership, particularly staff responsible children and the elderly agendas as well as staff responsible for vulnerable adults such as people with dependency issues, victims of domestic violence

• Key agencies responsible for approving and/or delivering the Housing Strategy document, e.g., Mayor of London (who will need to ensure that the local strategy is in broad compliance with his own regional document); private and affordable housing developers; private landlords; providers of supported housing services; voluntary sector agencies; local advisory agencies.
