Issue - decisions

Resolved:

     i.        That the Chief Operating Officer be recommended to approve the continued use of glyphosate based treatments as the principle method of weed control.

    Reason: To ensure the most effective weed control

    ii.        That the Chief Operating Officer be recommended to approve a two year contract, with an option to extend for two years, with that decision being brought back to a future decision session.

Reason: To enable the future treatment option to be reviewed having considered changes in product availability and any trials, whilst allowing the council to obtain value for money

  iii.        That the Chief Operating Officer be recommended to request a report for a future decision session, detailing discussions with a range of external organisations to obtain extra information on the feasibility of additional weed control trials.

Reason: To gather information on a new method which will inform future decision making.
