Background:

 

This report provided information about how a more co-ordinated and focused ‘adolescent offer’ could achieve savings and better outcomes for vulnerable young people. It also considered proposals to bring the Youth Offending Team and Youth Service into one building, further integrating their work programmes and providing savings by maximising and sharing staff and resources.

 

The report also requested authority to declare surplus 67 Balfour Road and proposed to Full Council to add a scheme to the Capital Programme.

The Cabinet noted the proposal to integrate some of the working practices of the Youth Offending Team (YOT) and the Youth Service and noted that the Director of Children and Adults Services would undertake this reorganisation under delegated authority.

211/2013

The Cabinet agreed to delegate authority to the Assistant Director, Legal and Corporate Services, in consultation with the Portfolio Holder for Finance, to declare surplus 67 Balfour Road, when it is clear that the property is no longer needed for service provision so that the property can be disposed of by the Assistant Director, Legal and Corporate Services, in consultation with the Portfolio Holder for Finance for best consideration.

The Cabinet recommended to Full Council to add up to £50,000 for the development of the Strood Youth Centre Training Room, as outlined in paragraph 6.2 of the report as an addition to the Capital Programme.

Reasons:

 

This provides the Council with revenue savings, a capital receipt and seeks to improve service delivery for young people
