Decision details

To receive a report on the matters for the Executive arising from the Motion passed by Council on 30^th January 2018 relating to Accommodation Facilities for Homelessness:

“This Council resolves to enter into negotiations with London and Quadrant Housing Trust (L&Q) to:

·  Explore the possibility of L&Q redeveloping part of the shared site of 50 and 52 Stoke Road, particularly the carpark area, to provide some additional specialist supported half-way-house type accommodation for needy and vulnerable clients in Slough on the path toward independent living.

·  Rename the resultant complex of buildings and facilities the Darren Morris Centre, in memory of the work and commitment of a councillor who died in-service a year ago striving in a non-partisan manner to help citizens such as these.”

(a)  That London & Quadrant’s response to the points raised in the Motion be noted.

(b)  That delegated authority be given to the Director of Place & Development, following consultation with the Lead Member for Corporate Finance & Housing, to lift or amend the Covenant, which governs the site, if a policy compliant scheme was proposed that contributed to the delivery of the Council’s Housing Strategy.
