CARL SARGEANT AM RAISES CONCERNS THAT ‘FLINTSHIRE COUNCIL IS FAILING HOMELESS PEOPLE’
Flintshire County Council is taking too long to provide help and assistance to homeless people and the Council’s performance has worsened over the past year, Labour AM, Carl Sargeant has warned.
According to the latest Local Authority Performance Data, Flintshire Council takes on average 228 days to discharge its duty to a person declared as homeless in the past financial year. The average figure across Wales was 130 days.
Carl Sargeant, Assembly Member for Alyn and Deeside said: “I find it particularly alarming that Flintshire council’s performance has deteriorated so badly. During 2007-8 it took 121 days to provide service to homeless people? Why has it increased so much during the past financial year?
“Homeless people are a particularly vulnerable group in society so this needs to be addressed as a matter of urgency. These figures are completely unacceptable; Flintshire Council is failing homeless people.”
