Purpose

Cantley depot currently accommodates a
proportion of Street Scene service teams and management.
The depot supports 54 weekday staff including supervisors and 18
weekend staff totalling 72 staff in total.
The office element is housed within a steel container unit which
accommodates the East Street Scene management team office and
frontline staff welfare facilities.
The internal design, layout and construction of the unit does not
provide for a suitable environment to conduct business in a
confidential and GDPR appropriate manner, especially when dealing
with often sensitive staffing matters such as management
attendance, 121s, PDRs and disciplinary themed issues.
A recent inspection of the depot by Corporate Health & Safety
colleagues has identified a number of issues that require measures
to be put in place to improve staff and visitor welfare and
safety.
The project intends to redevelop areas of the existing street scene
depot with the focus on addressing the H&S issues, maximising
office provision and ensure compliance under GDPR regulations
whilst working, create interview/meeting rooms and maintain quality
welfare facilities to the staff.
The scheme would redesign existing buildings to achieve office/IT
accommodation for staff.It will provide confidential meeting spaces
to undertake staff meetings, interviews and PDRs.
It will create training/learning areas for staff who need to access
IT equipment for work and training needs.
Improvements to the current welfare facilities within the depot by
re-roofing the building which contains the mess room, toilet and
locker facilities will be achieved.
The works would be delivered by Professional Building Maintenance
Team (PBM).
