Decision details

To enter into participation agreement with the following local authorities: Cotswold District Council . Forest Of Dean District Council, The Council Of The City Of Gloucester, Tewkesbury Borough Council and Stroud District Council.

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Reasons for the decision:

1.    To fulfil the Council’s statutory duty in regard to homeless people.

2.    To give effect to a multi-authority co-ordinated approach to homelessness.

3.    To provide a cost effective measure that will address homelessness in the Cheltenham district, and wider county of Gloucestershire.  

Alternative options considered:

The Council to accommodate homeless persons on its own. This option is still available to the Council but is likely to be more expensive and potentially less effective with no economies of scale, or resourcing from neighbouring authorities to draw on.
