Minutes:

The Board received the minutes of the meeting held on 17 March 2008 and the following issues were raised:

 

Minute Number LC34

 

In response to queries as to whether the meeting referred to under points two and three of the resolution had taken place, the Board was advised that it had not. The Chair advised that he would discuss this matter further with officers outside the meeting.

 

In relation to this minute, it was also queried whether a meeting had taken place with the Assistant Director for Planning to discuss the involvement of the Supporting People scheme. It was agreed that the Board should be provided with an update on this issue.

 

In response to a query as to whether the work had commenced in relation to the formation of a pre planning protocol, as discussed under paragraph 5, the Board was advised that it had not. There was agreement that an update in relation to progress against this action should be provided at the next meeting.

 

Minute Number LC44

 

Concern was raised that there was no LAA update on the agenda for the meeting as agreed under paragraph 5 and set out in the resolution agreed by the Board.

 

Members of the Board stressed that it was essential that the Board received information on the negotiation of LAA targets. It was also essential that the Board began to put plans in place to address how the targets within its responsibility would be delivered.

 

The Assistant Director advised that over recent months it had been necessary for the Housing Service to concentrate on the production of the Homelessness Strategy as there were stringent statutory deadlines in place governing its production. This had resulted in there being a lack of capacity available to support the Board. He assured the Board that the issues raised would be taken forward prior to the next meeting.

 

RESOLVED:

 

That the minutes of the meeting held on 17 March 2008 be confirmed as an accurate record.
