Norwich City Council has launched an independent review after one of its housing chiefs was sacked for bringing the authority into 'severe disrepute'. Kristine Reeves was dismissed from her post as the council's head of neighbourhood and strategic housing after a disciplinary hearing on 9 January found her actions had brought the council into severe disrepute. The 37-year-old had moved elderly residents out of sheltered homes in Greyhound Opening, Norwich, ready for the buildings to be decommissioned and the site redeveloped with 200 new flats and houses. But Ms Reeves had then moved into one of the properties with her partner, also a council housing officer, and the other 24 properties had been let to council staff.
