Report of the Superintendent of The Commons.

The Committee received a report of the Director of Open Spaces which provided an update on issues across the nine sites within ‘The Commons’ division.

The Superintendent explained that further to paragraph 13 of the report expert advice had been procured and that was supportive of the City’s case. In addition, it was clarified that the staff shortages had been resolved but not with permanent solutions noting that the Fundamental Review outcome would affect the situation. A Member of the Committee suggested that apprentices could be used to mitigate staffing issues and provide valuable experience to prospective permanent staff.

RESOLVED- That the report be noted.
