*RESOLVED –
1. That the need for increased provision of supported accommodation for vulnerable adults in Chesterfield be noted.
2. That the 10 year lease of Newbold Court to Action Housing be granted on the terms set out in the officer’s report.
3. That the Property, Procurement and Contracts Law Manager be granted delegated authority to deal with any late amendments to the terms of the lease.
REASONS FOR DECISIONS
1. Newbold Court and its use as supported accommodation will form an essential part of Chesterfield Borough Council’s homelessness prevention activity and has previously demonstrated its need and importance by supporting vulnerable people and enabling the Council to fulfil its statutory duties.
2. It is expected that the service will enable a reduction in the use of bed and breakfast accommodation.
