Cabinet Meeting 20 January 2010

20/01/2010

At today’s Cabinet in Spennymoor, one of a number of important items was the agreement of the first stage of our accommodation strategy.  This will look at what buildings and contact points the new Council needs to have across the county.  The Council has inherited a large number of buildings but I still feel that we can do better in terms of contact points which are truly accessible to the public.  Much more work needs to be done on this area and I will report back in future blogs on the progress that is being made.

Another of the important items on today’s Cabinet was the agreement to move to a consultation period on our residential care homes.  I do hope that over the next few months as many people and organisations as possible will feed back their views so that they can be considered when any decision is made later in the year.
