Agenda item

Members heard how the Housing Enforcement Service Level Agreement came to an end in March, 2017.  Given the success of the service, a proposal was made to continue the service through a revised Service Level Agreement with Barnsley Council Community Safety Service.  This would provide a Private Sector Housing and Environment Officer, and an Enforcement and Investigations Officer.

Members supported the proposal, noting that the service was much wider than just housing enforcement and provided support for many vulnerable residents in the area.

RESOLVED that approval be given for a Service Level Agreement within Barnsley Council to provide a Private Sector Housing and Environment Officer and an Enforcement and Investigations Officer post for a year at a cost of £76,162.
