Issue - meetings

The Cabinet to receive an update on this issue from the Director of Regulatory Services.

DECISION:

(1)     To note the current position on the apparent unsuccessful bid for the Extra Care Scheme in respect of Worth Court, Bourne;

(2)     To continue support for the re-development and improvement of this accommodation.

Considerations/Reasons for Decision:

(1)        Oral report from the Director of Regulatory Services referring to the current informal notification that the bid submitted in partnership by this authority, the Lincolnshire County Council, and the Hanover Housing Association had been unsuccessful.  Offficers would now await formal feedback on the areas of the bid which were unsuccessful with a view to considering alternative measures for the site;

(2)        To note that ward representatives, residents, and the Cabinet  would continue to be kept informed on progress.  The Cabinet wished to place on record its acknowledgement of the excellent record of communication between officers and those affected by this scheme despite the disappointing news.
