1.

Decision to purchase 11 Tamarisk Square under the Refugee Housing Programme

Decision maker:  Strategic Director of the Economy Department

Decision:   Before 1 Dec 2023

Lead officer:  Joe Coyne

Decision status:  Recommendations Approved

Notice of proposed decision first published: 17/11/2023

This decision will be taken under urgency procedures.

Reason for urgency:
This decision is to purchase four family sized properties using funding from the refugee housing programme (for which a Leader’s Urgency report approved a capital budget in July 2023). It is important that the Council can exchange and complete on these acquisitions within the next week so that an urgent allocation can proceed, and the vendors do not begin to seek alternative buyers.
