Decision details

Purchase of a self-propelled pedestrian boom sprayer

Decision Maker: Joint Assistant Director: Environmental Services

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Decision:

Purchase a Vixen 24V self-propelled pedestrian sprayer at a cost of £8950.

Reasons for the decision:

Our current sprayer is 10 years old and is becoming financially unviable to repair and maintain. Unlike our current machine, this machine has a boom so we can use it in more adverse weather if necessary and also reduce drift. This should help improve the quality of our bowling greens and cricket wickets.

Alternative options considered:

None
