This decision will be taken under urgency procedures.

Reason for urgency:
The making of this decision is urgent to allow the council to complete the purchases of the various housing units for use as emergency accommodation. This has become more urgent due to the expected increase in homeless individuals and families as a result of hotels closing and people not being able to pay rent. The properties have been completed and are therefore ready for use once we have purchased them.
