Decision details

Approval of Customer Services capital projects - Windsor Bridge Transport Centre MOT Facilities

Decision Maker: Cabinet Single-Member Decision

Decision status: Implemented

Is Key decision?: Yes

Is subject to call in?: Yes

Purpose:

There is a need to replace the outdated vehicle workshop equipment at Windsor Bridge Transport Centre which provides an opportunity as the new equipment will enable an application to VOSA (Vehicle & Operator Services Agency) for MOT facilities

Decision:

The Cabinet Members approved a capital budget of £60,000 for the introduction of MOT facilities at Windsor Bridge Depot, Bath

Reasons for the decision:

This decision is being sought following the development of a clear business case and PID. This application has been recommended for approval at all stages by CTSG, PID & CSG. Consultation with VOSA indicates they fully support the application for MOT status. There are no right to trade or insurance issues. There would be an income stream to the authority and all of the equipment would remain moveable should the need arise

Alternative options considered:

There is a clear business case and the “do nothing” option would result in increased cost to the Council through likely equipment failure
