1. How many properties do you currently have on Temporary Accommodation?
83 temporary accommodation properties in use currently and 20 nightly let/ emergency accommodation properties.

2. Please can you advise us on the maximum that is paid per night for a Studio, 1 Bed, 2 Bed, 3 Bed & 4 Bed.
There is not a maximum amount that we would pay; as what we pay for nightly let/emergency accommodation depends upon demand, needs and availability. But we would always try and procure accommodation for the lowest amount possible. We would expect to pay between £50 for a studio/1 or 2 bed and around £75 per night for a 3 or 4 bed, but we have providers who will charge one standard price regardless of property size.
