Pre Housing And Communities Committee Forum
Pre Housing And Communities Committee Forum
The Housing & Communities Committee (HACC) sets the policies and strategies for all services provided by Housing Services. It meets every 3 months and decisions are taken by the committee after Councillors have considered and discussed reports by the Council’s officers.
Before each of the HACC meetings, representatives from Tenant & Resident Associations and individual tenants have an opportunity to meet with the Housing Convenor and officers, who wrote the papers going before the HAC committee. This Pre-HACC Forum takes place on the Monday before the HAC committee meeting which take place on Wednesdays.
The purpose of the meeting is to exchange views on the papers and allow tenants direct access to the Housing Convenor prior to issues being discussed at the HAC Committee. The Housing Convenor then presents these views as part of the Committee’s discussion and forms part of the decision-making process.
The final committee papers are only available 1-2 weeks before the meeting but they are circulated as soon as possible . Paper copies are also provided as they can be lengthy documents to read on small screens.
If you want to be sent invites to the Pre-HACC Forum please get in touch with Jane Mack on 0798 354 2993 or jane.mack@west-dunbarton.gov.uk. The meetings take place at the Council offices at 16 Church Street and transport there and back can be provided as well as a zoom option.
