Transport Manager S113 Post

Decision Maker: Chief Executive (Head of Paid Service)

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Decision:

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.

Reasons for the decision:

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.

Alternative options considered:

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.

Conflict of Interest: None

Equalities Issues: None
