Issue details
Amended decision on the sale of a building to most effectively support the re-provision of the Council’s homeless accommodation.
Purpose of Report: To substitute the previously approved sale of 92 Holgate Road for the sale of 27 and 28, St Marys to most effectively support the re-provision of the councils homeless accommodation.
The Executive is asked to approve the sale of 27 & 28 St Marys
on the open market to the highest bidder instead of 92 Holgate Road
and, if the highest bidder is not necessarily the best offer, then
to delegate to the Corporate Director of Health, Housing and Adult
Social Care (in consultation with the Chief Finance Officer or her
delegated officers) the authority to take such steps as are
necessary to accept the best offer. In order to provide more modern
and appropriate resettlement accommodation at 92, Holgate Road
(which is no longer needed for temporary accommodation following
the opening of James House) and to obtain an improved capital
receipt to the authority. This will most effectively support former
homeless/rough sleepers with finding permanent accommodation.
