Housing strategy and development service

Medway Council's Housing Strategy 2008-11 was approved by Cabinet on 5 August 2008. It has subsequently been reviewed and its action plan has also been made smarter. This was approved by Cabinet in September 2009.

The strategy sets the direction for housing in Medway until 2011. It is the result of consultation with customers and marks the start of the process of delivering the objectives, priorities and targets. This delivery depends on co-operation and partnership between housing agencies and partners including Affordable Housing Providers, private landlords, house builders, planners, social care agencies, equalities communities and residents.

This Housing Strategy has five long-term corporate objectives:

• to maximise the supply of suitable and affordable housing and meeting housing need;
• to enable vulnerable people to live independent lives;
• to improve the quality and energy efficiency of housing;
• to develop sustainable communities and promote neighbourhood renewal;
• to promote better and fair access to housing services.
