Agenda item

To receive the report of the Maintenance & Environmental Services Officer.

The Committee received and considered the report of the Maintenance & Environmental Services Officer concerning the purchase of a new works vehicle.

Members were advised what the vehicle would be used for and the range it would be travelling so were supportive of this being the first electric vehicle for the Council. The final decision on which of the options to procure should be a decision for officers based on professional information but should be led by a long-term plan for the Council’s vehicle fleet.

Resolved:

1.      That, the report be noted and,

2.      That, the decision on which electric vehicle to purchase be delegated to the Maintenance & Environmental Services Officer in consultation with the Head of Operations, based on the best information and recommendation available.
