2.1         Cabinet:

(a)  Accepted Recommendations 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 10 and 11 in the Overview & Scrutiny Panel’s report on Homelessness and Rough Sleepers; and

(b) Congratulated the task and finish group on a high quality and comprehensive report and thanked the group for the time and effort given to produce it.

Councillor Hibbert as the relevant Cabinet Member introduced the report accepting most of the recommendations from the Overview and Scrutiny Panel.  In respect of recommendation 6, engaging with criticism on social media had been found to exacerbate rather than resolve problems and in respect of recommendation 9, current legislation did not permit the provision of guaranteed job interviews for rough sleepers.

RESOLVED:
