Issue details
Growing with B&NES - A partnership with the Genesis Trust
The Council and the Genesis Trust have worked
up a proposal for a 3 year trial, to reduce cost to the Council
whilst maximising the use of the Council's plant nursery site to
achieve Council corporate objectives, and the social objectives of
the Genesis Trust which is a social enterprise. The Council will
enter into an initial 3 year concession agreement to assess the
success of the scheme in meeting the mutual objectives.
The Council will reduce risk to its volatile income streams by
selling stock to the Genesis Trust and reducing its own direct
sales of individual plants to residents, and as a result will be
able to reduce headcount by holding vacant posts within the
nursery.
