Issue details

Purchase of Neighbourhoods Welfare Units

During the Covid-19 pandemic to date, the Council has successfully managed Covid-safe workplaces for operational staff, following national legislation and sector-specific guidance.

A recent review carried out by Property in consultation with Senior Operations management identified a requirement to provide extra canteen/breakout space for staff and site operatives at working depots where 'social distancing' cannot be supported by existing facilities, during the colder, wetter weather conditions to come in the Autumn and Winter.
Existing breakout / kitchenettes do not allow for the number of staff using them and it is recognised that under health, safety and welfare duties, extra units need to provided at 6 key site locations, which have been assessed for external space and necessary services connections.
• Midland Road Depot, Bath
• Ashmead Road Depot, Keynsham
• Keynsham Recycling Centre
• Radstock Road Depot, Midsomer Norton
• RVP Nursery, Bath
• Cleansing Depot, Locksbrook Road, Bath
