Decision:
That the Executive agrees to:
(1) the purchase of a replacement refuse and recycling collection fleet as set out in this report; and
(2) the transfer £3,400,000 from the provisional capital programme to the approved capital programme.
Reason:
The recommendations are made to ensure that Guildford Borough Council can continue to provide statutory waste and recycling collection services that maintain high resident satisfaction and best value for the organisation.
Alternative options considered and rejected by the Executive:
To not proceed with the planned replacement, which would prevent the service from delivering the Council’s statutory duty to collect waste and recycling as the current fleet would become increasingly unreliable.
Details of any conflict of interest declared by the Leader or lead councillors and any dispensation granted:
None
