The House of Commons Communities and Local Government Committee, which is tasked by the House of Commons to scrutinise the Department for Communities and Local Government, is conducting an inquiry into the Government’s Decent Homes Programme. 

As part of that inquiry, the Committee are visiting Stockport on Monday 23 November 2009 to find out more about how the programme is working on the ground, and how councils and ALMOs are handling the funding and management challenges of the programme.

The Committee is particularly interested in views on how the programme should look after 2010, given the lessons which have been learnt so far. Stockport Homes are hosting the day’s proceedings.

As part of the meeting there will be an evidence session, when the following will give evidence to the meeting:

●     East Durham Homes

●     The NFA (National Federation of ALMOs)

●     Residential Landlord Association

●     Dr Julie Rugg (University of York)

 

This will take place from 2.30pm – 4.00pm, in the Council Chamber at Stockport Town Hall.  There will be a public gallery at this session, and if you would like to witness the evidence session, please arrive at the Stockport Town Hall reception at 2.15pm promptly.
