Will Morritt, City Housing Manager, Nottingham City Homes (NCH), introduced the report providing updates on key issues and themes which link back to local priorities and the strategic themes for Nottingham City Homes, highlighting the following:

Mayfield Court is due to have Grander Design work this financial
year, with a start date yet to be confirmed. Fire enhancement works
at Southchurch Court, including installation of sprinklers, will
begin in late 2018 to early 2019 due to electrical infrastructure
issues that are being resolved;

the Decent Neighbourhood team has
recently delivered external and boundary improvements to
