County Council – 20 May 2025

People Scrutiny Committee’s report paragraph 1

Amendment to be proposed by Councillors Tutt and Shuttleworth

The People Scrutiny Committee recommends the County Council to -    

Y consider the matter in relation to the decision made by Cabinet on 25 February to reduce the funding for Linden Court and (delete the following wording) what action if any to take [add the following words] refer the matter back to the Cabinet setting out the Council’s views as set out below.

The council’s views are: Council wishes to thank the parents and carers of the Linden Court community for the work that they have done in surveying the families of the users of this facility and for presenting their findings to Councillors.  In light of this information and the possible increase in costs to the Authority should Linden Court close, Council resolves this facility should be kept open pending work with the families, to assess the costs implications and that the outcome of these be reported to Cabinet as part of its reconsideration.
