Decision

To cease the contract for the Active Travel Hub with the Heeley Development Trust and implement a revised operating model.

Reasons for the decision

The proposed operating model would see BMBC bring the service inhouse primarily to create a new operating model by integrating the Active Travel Hub (ATH) and new services into the BMBC Sport and Physical Activity Team.

The proposed operating model would enable:

·         Integrate activity into the wider cycling, walking and scooting behaviour change programme.

·         Explore efficiencies across the Sport and Physical Activity Team through sharing resources, staff, deliver joint events and behaviour change activity.

·         Join up the marketing and messaging into one consistent campaign.

·         Revise the delivery of services to have visibility across the borough rather than just a town centre presence. Both are important to this delivery model.

·         Deliver the service that Barnsley needs to drive recreational and commuter cycling.

Alternative options considered

There are no alternatives to this proposal.
