The Portfolio Holder for Cleaner & Greener presented the report which advised Members on the refurbishment and re-development plans for the Council’s main Dunbrik Depot. Members were advised that the Cleaner & Greener Advisory Committee had also considered the same report and were in support.

The Head of Direct Services advised that the continued development and refurbishment of the Dunbrik depot was vital to improving internal infrastructure, and modernising staffing facilities to ensure the depot was fit for purpose and future proofed for essential statutory front line services. The proposed refurbishment and development would also free up further space required for any future infrastructure development, such as electric vehicle charging.
