Article summary

The monitoring officer at Tendering District Council has issued a section 5 joint report, in compliance with the Local Government and Housing Act 1989 (LGHA 1989) obligations, to update the Cabinet on progress on reconfiguring Spendells House for the provision of temporary housing, to seek continued support given the available options and the need for accommodation and to request additional funding to address unexpected issues. The report also informs members of a breach of the Council’s Financial Procedure Rules and legal requirements regarding contract variations without sufficient approvals in place and the actions taken in response, which led to incurring additional costs to the project without authorisation. The Cabinet resolved to continue supporting the project, allocate additional funds, and ensure proper oversight.
