Issue - decisions

Resolved:  That Cabinet agree to:

(i)     The demolition of the existing Ordnance Lane hostel to be replaced with a new modular build hostel, with the remainder of the site to be used for new council housing.

(ii)    The commencement of the proposed procurement for the replacement of Ordnance Lane Hostel.

Reason:     (i)      To replace existing poor quality temporary homeless accommodation that is no longer fit for purpose with a high quality new build hostel, and much needed new council housing.

                (ii)     To allow a new modular build hostel to be built that will minimise the disruption to the provision of temporary homeless services.
