This report makes the following recommendations to Communities, Housing and Environment Committee:
|
|||
|
That the report be noted. |

The list below is a brief summary of items our Committee has considered over the last year and I would like to thank all Members, Substitutes and Officers for their time and support. I hope the decisions we have made will have a positive impact for our residents and have gone some way towards improving the lives of all our residents across the Borough. Although money is still in tight supply, I feel we as a Committee have achieved a balanced and fair approach to some difficult decisions.
As you are aware some items continue to progress, but I am particularly pleased that there has been a significant reduction in our rough sleeper numbers. Our homeless preventions have greatly increased, and we have made positive moves into providing and building our own residential accommodation.
The work continues, and I have certainly learned a lot representing the Committee externally on the KCC Health Overview and Scrutiny Committee, Kent Flood Risk Group, Kent Resource Partnership and Maidstone Health and Wellbeing Board. |
