RESOLVED:

This Council notes that, as a result of the housing stock transfer process, it has not been practicable for the Cabinet to develop plans for the Council to restore Killisick Court to a sheltered accommodation complex for the elderly. It therefore supports the Cabinet's discussions with Gedling Homes about its inclusion in the stock transfer with a view to Gedling Homes bringing the site back into use.
