Performance statistics: monitoring guidelines for local authorities LATEST DETAILS

Submitted by admin on 19 May, 2009 - 20:04

in

These documents are discussion drafts of a monitoring framework to replace Best Value Performance Indicator 64. The first draft (May 2009) has now been updated (July/August 2009). The previous versions are available in the Library. There is no longer a separate summary document - the structure of the main Guidelines has been revised. The substance is pretty much the same except that interventions that consist of rent / deposit guarantees or rent-in-advance are segregated out into a separate category (agreed at the Exec meeting in June).

Managing agents for EDMO's.

Submitted by Mel Mutch on 12 November, 2009 - 13:42

hi

I am Oxford City Council's empty prop' officer and we are currently putting together applications for 3 EDMO's. Unfortuantly we are not in a position to fund works required to bring the properties back into use or to manage them. We are now working towards creating partnerships with private investors to carryout works and to manage these properties. I would be pleased to hear from anyone who has experience in setting up this type of management scheme.
