RESOLVED:
That the creation of ‘Southwark Construction’, an internal arm of the council, that will deliver new council housing and in doing so also create and develop a wide range of benefits that meet the challenging expectations of the council be agreed. This will provide ongoing employment opportunities, realisation of social value deliverables, training and career progression within a professional environment that focuses on providing high quality, carbon neutral homes be agreed. It will also bring opportunities to establish some of the more specialist professional construction roles, currently outsourced at high cost, in-house.
