The Officer also noted that an article within Members Update would be published providing detail on how this service would operate going forwards.

e)            Youth Hub: Following a question from a Member, the Officer confirmed that a site within the Ashley Centre had been identified to hold the Youth Hub. Remote services and some sessions hosted frim Bourne Hall are up and running, and the full service aims to be live by the end of October.
