Report of the Street People Scrutiny Task Group

RESOLVED THAT

The recommendations of the Street People Scrutiny Task Group be accepted and it be noted that the authority has now joined the Solace partnership.

In the absence of the Chair of Overview and Scrutiny Members considered the report and recommendations from the scrutiny task group. The Cabinet Member Development and Safety said the report was a validation of the work the council was already undertaking including a number of successful initiatives, largely in conjunction with Cheltenham Borough Homes. The council had joined Project Solace and was reviewing the effectiveness of these arrangements. He therefore recommended to Cabinet that the recommendations be accepted.

The Cabinet Member Housing wished to put on record his thanks to those officers involved in the work and particularly to those officers on Project Solace who worked on the council’s behalf with partners to tackle the issues.

RESOLVED THAT

The recommendations of the Street People Scrutiny Task Group be accepted and it be noted that the authority has now joined the Solace partnership.
