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

The Sub Committee considered a report of the Director of Community & Children’s Services proposing the adoption of a Decant Policy, and an initial budget for the decant of residents of Mais House. Members considered the policy and the report, receiving clarification that all Mais House residents would be eligible to receive the Home Loss payment. Members sought, and were given assurance that no residents would be financially disadvantaged in the longer term.  Officers also stated that any further measures needed would be brought back to Members for approval at a later date. 

RESOLVED – That the decant policy be approved, and an initial budget of £450,000 be created for home loss and disturbance payments for residents of Mais House over the life of the decant programme.
