Decision:
That:
a) Cabinet Member approve the drawdown the £1.540m identified corporate funded borrowing to enable the purchase of additional winter maintenance vehicles and an internal fleet for the New Public Realm Service; and
b) Cabinet Member delegates authority to the Major Contracts Programme Director to take all necessary operational decisions to carry out the procurement and award of contracts, as set out in recommendation (a), to successful bidders
Alternative options considered:
1. That this investment is not made and the Council does not purchase additional winter maintenance vehicles and an internal fleet for the New Public Realm Service. This is not recommended as Officers consider that this would lead to additional risk associated with the delivery of the New Public Realm Service, which is a key part of the Council’s Delivery Plan.
