In the event that the housing futures ballot results in a vote in favour of stock transfer, the Chairman will be requested to call an Extraordinary Meeting of Council to consider the resolutions which would be required to take the issue forward. The provisional date for this meeting is Thursday 18 June 2009 at 2.00 pm.
Council RESOLVED that the following Notice of Motion be approved:
‘Concern is mounting particularly amongst our sheltered housing residents and their families regarding our services provided for the vulnerable elderly. There is also rising public concern on this issue.
While many Council sheltered residents have found the emergency cover very satisfactory, there are many apprehensions being voiced about the prospect of more change and less staff on-site hours.
Council agrees to subject all services for sheltered housing residents, provided by us, to a review, with the objective of achieving the best possible standard of service provision,which will be conducted by a Task and Finish Group set up by the Portfolio Holder.’
