Representatives of the Chief Executive, Stockport Homes Ltd. submitted a report (copies of which had been circulated) providing an update on progress on the delivery of Stockport Homes’ Neighbourhood Action Plans. Neighbourhood Action Plans were used by Stockport Homes to bring together a holistic plan, a range of housing issues and wider sustainability issues that impact on the quality of life for residents living in neighbourhoods, such as the quality of the local environment, anti social behaviour, community safety, worklessness and help to identify future investment.

The following comments were made/issues raised:-

•           The work carried out by Stockport Homes with regard to worklessness was very impressive.

•           The work with Highways Services to improve the condition of the surface of roads and pavements in the Cheadle area.

•           The diversionary activities taking place in those areas of Cheadle Hulme which are Priority 2 areas and the assistance given by Stockport Homes to help groups bid for sports development activities.

•           The fencing work carried out near to the flats on Avon Road in Heald Green was very impressive, but the garages nearby needed repairing.

•           The transformation of the Oak Road estate in Cheadle which has also been helped by the building of a multi-use games area in the local park.

•           The needs of tenants with disabilities when bathroom modernisation programmes were being carried out.

•           The use to Members of knowing how many Stockport Homes’ properties were in each Ward.

RESOLVED – That the report be noted.
