To contribute £7,000 from current
establishment to fund a temporary S113 Transport Manager post, to
support the requirements of the Operator’s Licence in
SHDC.
There have been a number of management level
staffing absences in Environmental Services over the last year,
including the post that is responsible for the Council’s
Operating licence.
There is a need for an experienced Transport Manager to hold the
Council’s Operator’s Licence to allow recruitment and
training to take place within the existing team.
This will be a temporary resource and priority areas initially are
the compliance of the council’s HGV fleet, and operating
centres.
Do nothing is not an option. Without a
professional Transport Manager personally responsible for holding
the Council’s Operator’s Licence, the Council will be
unable to operate HGVs.
