Cabinet had due regard to the views of the Scrutiny Select Committee, the financial and value for money considerations and legal implications and recognised that given the continued demands on homelessness services and the need for temporary accommodation, the Borough Council would be unable to continue to manage the temporary accommodation numbers without the service working at maximum efficiency and effectiveness. 

RESOLVED: That

(1)    the Temporary Accommodation and Homelessness Service Review (attached at Annex 1), be noted; and

(2)    the Action Plan (attached at Annex 2), be approved.
