Your request

Could you please tell me which of the council's accounts pays for the following officers:

  • the decanting officer on estates facing demolition, and
  • the liveability officer

Also, do the temporarily housed residents on the estates facing demolition have an officer? If so, who pays for their services?

Our response

The resident decant officers working on the six regeneration estate are funded via the Housing Revenue Account.

The liveability officers working on the six regeneration estates are funded via the Housing Revenue Account. 

All residents living in temporary accommodation are assisted by the Temporary Accommodation Team which is funded through the General Fund. Those living in temporary accommodation on regeneration estates do not have a separately funded officer, but are dealt with by the Temporary Accommodation Team within its existing resources.
