Who holds this brief The cabinet posts whose own titles name “Housing”.
Leader of the Council and Housing, Health, Active Communities and LGR Portfolio Holder
Hastings Borough Council · Glenn Haffenden (Green Party) · the post's title names “Housing”
No cabinet post at East Sussex County Council names this subject in its title; every post is listed with the council's own register.
How this page is made: a document appears here when its title
or text contains one of these words: “housing”, “homelessness”, “homeless”, “affordable homes”, “temporary accommodation”, “HMO”, “landlord licensing”, “empty homes”. We match whole words and
ignore case. A matching word doesn't mean the document is mainly about this
topic, so each entry shows the word that matched and links to the council's
own document.
