Report of the Director of Community and Children’s Services.

Members received a report of the Director of Community and Children’s Services in respect of the refurbishment programme for Golden Lane Community Centre.  Members asked for assurance of a smooth transition and noted that staff relocation was due to be discussed by the Director of Community and Children’s Services and the Residents’ Steering Group next week.  Members noted Artizan Street Library and Community Centre, which was working well, and accepted that the new regime might take a while to bed in.

In respect of the three new accessible homes, to be built on the ground floor of Great Arthur House, Members discussed the proposal to make one of these available for ad-hoc supported living; i.e. short time convalescence following discharge from hospital.  Members asked if they could be provided with frequency of use statistics and noted that, if a decision was taken not to include an ad-hoc facility, there wold still be three new accessible homes available.

RESOLVED, that – the report be noted.
