Procurement and Financial Update (Sac.04.05.2021/2)

Minutes:

The Area Council Manager introduced the report, referring to existing campaigns which aimed to tackle the issue of off-road biking.   Members were supportive of the enhancement to this work through the purchase of a bespoke camera.

 

Thanks were given to the Police, following the recent seizure of a number of bikes, and a request was made for the Area Council to receive reports regarding the impact of the camera, once operational.

 

Members went on to consider the proposal to provide resources at Wombwell Library in order to allow the Post Office service to run on Wednesdays whilst a more permanent solution was found.

 

It was noted that there had been delays in the relocation of Post Office services in other parts of the area.  It was therefore suggested that the finance be approved for a six month period only, with the Post Office being approached to contribute financially to any further extension to the temporary arrangements.

 

RESOLVED:-

(i)           That approval be given to run a pilot to better tackle off road bikes/ quad biking across the South Area, and that a wide lens, long range camera, SD card and carry bag be purchased to support this at a cost of £2,500;

(ii)              That approval be given to enable the extension of Post Office opening hours at Wombwell Library, as detailed in the report, for a six month period at a cost of £1,414.
