Decision No: D110016MEM
Date: 21st February 2011
Decision(s) and Reason(s)
Review of the West Kent Homelessness Strategy
Minutes
The report gave details of the draft West Kent Homelessness Strategy for the period 2011-2016 which had been developed in partnership with Tunbridge Wells Borough Council, Sevenoaks District Council and partner agencies providing advice and services to households across West Kent. Members expressed concern that the aims and objectives of the strategy should be measurable and achievable within the resources available. It was further suggested that the strategy should cover the same period as the detailed Action Plan, namely to April 2013.
Following consideration by the Strategic Housing Advisory Board, the Cabinet Member for Housing resolved that, subject to further discussion with the partner organisations regarding the concern that the aims and objectives of the strategy should be measurable and achievable within the resources available and should cover the same period as the detailed Action Plan, namely to April 2013, the draft West Kent Homelessness Strategy be endorsed for the purpose of consultation.
Reasons: As set out in the report submitted to the Strategic Housing Advisory Board of 21 February 2011.
