That the Deputy Leader and Portfolio Holder
for Corporate Resources and Performance:
1)Approves the Council taking new leases of the two properties (49
Church Lane, Arnold, Nottingham, NG5 8HH and 84 Redland Grove,
Carlton, Nottingham, NG4 3EU) owned by Jigsaw Homes Midlands for
use as temporary accommodation
2)Approves the leases for a period of 2 years, starting on the 1
April 2023
To enable the Council to enter into two new
leases for the properties located at 49 Church Lane, Arnold,
Nottingham and 89 Redland Grove, Carlton, Nottingham for use as
temporary accommodation to compliance with its homelessness duties
and reduce its reliance on expensive and unsuitable bed and
breakfast and other nightly charged accommodation.
To no longer lease the two properties from
Jigsaw Homes Midlands and remain with the current temporary
accommodation provision of 21 units. However, this will mean that
the Council will have to be more reliant on bed and breakfast
hotels, hostels or other nightly charged accommodation at a
significant extra cost to the Council. This type of accommodation
also provides limited amenities and includes no cooking facilities
which could have a detrimental impact on the health and wellbeing
of those households placed.
