Following the failure by SKDC to provide heating and hot water to residents in properties managed by them, including Riverside in Welham Street, Grantham, Coun Charmaine Morgan has put the following motion before the council’s next full meeting:
She is proposing…
“This Council will undertake an urgent and complete review of the management and enforcement of environmental regulations in relation to the maintenance of the wellbeing and safety of private tenants and other residents within the South Kesteven District.
“The review will include the examination of communications and formal complaints received in relation to the failure of private landlords and/or tenants to comply with legislative requirements.
“The review will consider how promptly and how effectively those complaints are handled.
“An examination will take place of existing national legislation, the procedures implemented by SKDC, and the speed and level of enforcement action and use of escalation taken by skdc environmental officers particularly where there is an issue relating to safety and the wellbeing of tenants and residents affected.
“It will identify if adequate resource has been allocated to the Environmental team to enable officers to carry out their duties fully to ensure SKDC remains compliant.
“The findings of the review will be reported back to Full Council with any issues identified and agreed action/resources required to address them.”
