Purpose

Cabinet considered a report on purchase of cleansing vehicles.

Decision

Cabinet approved Option 1 of the Cabinet report to purchase 4 x 12t vehicles from the allocated £2.155m from this year’s approved capital programme budget on the purchase of replacement vehicles.

Reasons for the decision

In accordance with section 13.03b of the Council Constitution, the report requested the approval of a key decision to spend against this agreed budget allocation for the purchase of replacement vehicles.

Alternative options considered

Not to approve this key decision. Note this would ultimately leave the council unable to fulfil statutory obligations with regard to cleansing services.
