Purpose

These are set out in the TGB Report but, in
short, this decision will ensure that the Doncaster LRC evolves
into a modern, fit for purpose, customer focussed service available
around the clock as opposed to being a part-time administrative
heavy system. In addition to these benefits to direct users, the
efficiencies will free up officer time and resource to focus more
on the data inputting and management of
records. This includes looking at further datasets and information
that the LRC could provide in the future for the benefit of users
as well as improving the understanding of the Borough’s
biodiversity richness for everyone
