Decision Maker: Cabinet Member for Children's Services

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: Yes

Is subject to call in?: Yes

Purpose:

To approve the award of the capital build contract for extensions to Clare Lodge.

Reasons for the decision:

Clare Lodge is a local authority secure home and is part of Peterborough City Council and provides local authorities nationally with secure, welfare accommodation.  There is a national shortage of welfare beds and the government is investing in this area.  This provision provides secure accommodation for some of the most vulnerable young women in the country.  The increased capacity of an additional four bedrooms and classrooms will go some way to meeting the national shortage of welfare beds. 

 

Alternative options considered:

Do nothing and not carry out works. This option was rejected because the Council would have to return capital funding that was secured by a bid application to the Department for Education.

Interests and Nature of Interests Declared:

None.
