Neighbourhood Services - Asset & Vehicle Replacement Programme 2021/22
To move provisional capital sum of
£1.378m to fully approved for the procurement of vehicles and
plant to replace end of life units in 2021/22. This project will
ensure that the specialist fleet vehicles and standard vehicles
used by frontline services within the Council continue to be
managed effectively and efficiently using vehicles and plant built
to the latest standards and regulations regarding safety and
emissions, operate with greater fuel efficiency and meet the
changing requirements of the evolving services.
These replacement vehicles and plant are for key frontline services
such as the collection of waste and recycling, cleansing,
maintenance of parks and open spaces and other services such as
Highways and Heritage. There are several specialist vehicles and
plant along with some standard vans. The vehicles will all be
fitted with the latest specification of engines leading to reduced
emissions and better fuel efficiency. Stop/Start technology and
electric vehicles will also be considered for the non-specialist
vehicles reducing our carbon footprint. The replacement of the
vehicles allows each team to step back and assess what are the best
vehicles to achieve their required outcomes through changing
service demands and not just replace on a 'like for like'
basis.
