Consultation process

An internal review of live Local Lettings Plans was held with officers from Cheltenham Borough Council’s ASB team, Empty Homes, Housing Options and Housing Enabling teams to determine whether maintaining the Local Lettings Plans on Waterloo Street remained necessary in view of evidence provided by officers. Whilst officers noted that some minor issues remained (relating to a private home) such issues were not deemed to be severe enough to maintain the Local Lettings Plan, although officers, working alongside our key partners, will remain vigilant.

Following this internal consultation with officers, officers engaged with the Cabinet Member for Housing and Customer Services, who supported the removal of the Local Lettings Plan for Waterloo Street after seeking reassurances from officers about the current status of community cohesion at Waterloo Street and the surrounding vicinity.
