Decision:

That having had due regard to the Integrated Impact Assessment:

·        That the proposed Vehicle/Plant Procurement Programme for 2024/25, set out at appendix A of the circulated report, be approved

·        That Delegated Authority be granted to the Head of Service, in consultation with the Cabinet Member for Strategic Planning, Transport and Connectivity, to purchase any vehicles in order to maximise the availability of grant funding that may become available to assist with the purchase cost of the vehicles.

Reason for Decision:

The replacement vehicles and plant will either be zero emission, hybrid electric or have a higher euro standard which will enable the fleet to be more fuel efficient by producing significantly less MPGs and reducing the carbon footprint of the Council by lower emissions.

The Fleet Service in conjunction with the Welsh Government Energy Service have undertaken a review of the Councils Fleet of vehicles to establish usage within sections and where there were opportunities for introducing full electric and other zero emission vehicles and plant to further reduce the Councils carbon emissions in line with the Councils Fleet Transition Plan.

Implementation of Decision:

The decision will be implemented after the three day call in period, which ended at 9am, Tuesday 13 February 2024.
