The Executive Councillor (Supporting Communities) submitted a report (copies of which had been circulated) inviting the Executive Meeting to consider the draft Tenancy Strategy developed in response to the requirements of the Localism Act 2011. The Strategy set out the principals that should be considered by Registered Housing Providers operating in Stockport in determining their own Tenancy Policies. In particular the Strategy would set our principles in relation to fixed term tenancies and ‘affordable rent’.

RESOLVED – That the Stockport Council Tenancy Strategy be approved.
