The Housing Scrutiny Committee consists of
nine councillors and six tenant and leaseholder representatives
(one post currently vacant).
The councillors and the representatives
scrutinise the decisions of the Executive Councillor for Housing
and Homelessness.
The five tenants and one leaseholder on the
Housing Scrutiny Committee are elected every four years through a
citywide ballot of all Cambridge City Council tenants and
leaseholders. For independence, the ballot is run by an external
organisation, Electoral Reform Services.
The number of tenant and leaseholder places on
the Committee represents the proportion of tenants and leaseholders
living in Cambridge City Council properties.
Elected residents on the Committee can receive
an allowance to cover their expenses and compensate for their
time.
