Purpose

Cabinet gave approval for 29 placements for
Mental Health Rehabilitation in January 2023. Since then we have
identified two schemes, totalling 14 placements in Central and East
Lancashire. However, we had significant difficulty sourcing
provision in the North of the county.
In February 2024, Safe as Houses, a developer, approached us with
an offer for a scheme, comprising 12 flats in Fleetwood, which
would provide 11 flats for rehabilitation plus a staff flat. The
scheme is complete, and ready for procurement of support
provision.
We are seeking permission to confirm our intention to use the
Fleetwood property for Mental Health Rehabilitation.
