Agenda item

The Area Council Manager presented a report which updated Members with regard to Area Council commissions and sought agreement to the continuation of Twiggs Grounds Maintenance until the end of March 2019.

The meeting noted that all current Area Council contracts were due to end in March 2019. A Working Party would be established from January 2018 to begin to discuss proposals for contracts from March 2019 onwards.

The Director of Communities explained that the Business Improvement and Performance Team was currently undertaking a project to improve the Council’s intelligence profiles in relation to local areas and she suggested that it may be possible to undertake this project for the Dearne area first, to allow this information to be used in the discussion of post-March 2019 contracts.

RESOLVED:- That the meeting:

a)    approves the continuation of the contract with Twiggs Grounds Maintenance until the end of March 2019 at a cost of £75,000.

b)    notes the change in staffing with regards the private sector housing officer role, as discussed earlier in the meeting.
