Report ES13115

The Committee received a report summarising its work programme, progress on previous committee requests and the summary of Environment Portfolio contracts.

Councillor Grainger suggested that the notes from the 2012 LIP review could contribute to a draft transport strategy for the borough. He advised that the Contracts Register Summary at Appendix 3 would need to have more detail about extensions in future as a result of requests from Audit Sub-Committee. He also asked that the meaning of the “Total Value” column be clarified and its accuracy checked.

It was explained that the “Ambulance Hire” contract related to the social services transport fleet operated by Care Services but commissioned by the Environment and Community Services Department. The contract had been extended for a year while future fleet strategy was reviewed. The Chairman stated that he would discuss the matter with the Chairman of the Care Services PDS Committee.

RESOLVED that the work programme, progress on matters raised at previous meetings and the summary of Environment Portfolio contracts be noted.
