The purpose to provide a summary of options for the delivery of the public convenience cleaning and maintenance service

 

Cabinet members stated that they considered that Danfo provided a good service, but that the contract would only be only extended for a year to allow officers to review and evaluate the overall service provision.

 

Cabinet members discussed the importance of providing a commercially viable service, which could be entirely maintained through customers paying for entry. It was hoped that this would result in a commercially viable service that was also a good for customers.

 

The Cabinet also stated that they hoped to introduce card readers in addition to the existing cash payment, to provide more payment options,

 

The recommendations were proposed by Councillor Mike Evemy and seconded by Councillor Tony Dale.
