Jaradras,
you raise some interesting points regarding need and provision of temporary house, and I suggest you direct them to local councillors who should be able to get hold of the figures. Alternatively you could attend the meeting on Saturday and ask the officers directly if they could provide you with the figures.

There will be occasions where 5 bed units will only be used for 3 or 4 individuals. It is difficult for the council to plan exact matches between household sizes and units available, but they are obviously going to provide the most appropriate accommodation for the family concerned. 100 is the maximum number of beds planned for the units, based on the plans I saw yesterday.

Similarly I wouldn't get too caught up in the 6 month average time spent in temporary accommodation. The average will deal with some families that quickly move on, and others who are stuck in the system for much longer. But the 6 months figure was first presented to me as a 23 week *maximum* stay. It is not a maximum and the figure was confirmed to be an average (median or mode I did not ask), and I think 6 months is a better way to express their 23 week figure. In actual fact it is more like 5 months and 1 week, rather than 6 months.
