Questions received in accordance with Council Procedure Rule 13

Question 1

Question from Councillor Kier Barsby to the Deputy Leader and Executive Lead Member for Strategic Housing and Climate Change

 

“According to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, current figures for homeless children in England and Wales: 142,490.

 

Between 2019-2023 there were 55 deaths in temporary accommodation. 42 of those deaths were children under the age of one.

 

Can you confirm how many children, as of April 2024, are on Ashfield District Council’s waiting list, and how many are under 1?  Also, how many are in temporary accommodation including hostels, temporary housing, rough sleeping, sofa surfing etc?”

 

Question 2

Question from Councillor Kier Barsby to the Deputy Leader and Executive Lead Member for Strategic Housing and Climate Change

 

“Would you agree with me that the newly passed Damp and Mould Policy does not go far enough with beating this dreaded menace in both Council homes and privately rented homes? Would you agree that all private landlords are encouraged to sign up to the charter of good landlords that the Council has going in the New Cross area of Sutton in Ashfield, and to give the Policy more sanctions that this Council can use against dreadful appalling bad private landlords who constantly misuse this Policy?”
