Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Decision:

East Lindsey District Council are looking to share an existing member of staff, a Senior Rough Sleeping Case Officer who will be formally shared with Boston Borough Council until at least the 31 March 2026.

The decision being sought is under Section 113 of the Local Government Act 1972 for Boston Borough Council to agree to this arrangement which will enable a combined role covering both areas.


Reasons for the decision:

To enable the aforementioned officer to manage the Rough Sleeping function for both Councils.


Alternative options considered:

Employment of a Separate Senior at ELDC. Due to the uncertainty of grant funding being available in March 26 and recruitment potentially taking a short while this was the best option in the interim period.
