Since becoming the Cabinet Member for Housing in 2009 Debbie has ben involved in sorting out the Sheltered Housing. This service currently runs at a loss of £750,000 per year. The latest review is looking at making both savings and giving the residents the service they want. Debbie  recently met with the new Site Officers who will be delivering a Concierge Service whereby staff can replace light bulbs, put up curtain rails and generally deliver a handy person service

Debbie joined with fellow Housing Committee Councillors and supporters to cook for a group of Sheltered Housing residents in Minchinhampton. Councillor Emma Simms came with the idea of catering for the residents who had lost their resident cook and then came up with anonymous sponsors to ensure the 20 residents could continue their Christmas tradition. A menu of spiced apple and parsnip soup, followed by a traditional lunch and a choice of Christmas pudding or trifle supplied by the chair of Housing Commitee
