SW Urban Grounds Maintenance & Street Cleansing Project Toolkit
To investigate and document the relative size, cost and delivery processes for grounds maintenance and street cleansing services in each of the four partner district councils and to compare the relative performance. Then as a result of this investigation, improve the quality and efficiency of service by improving and rationalising urban and urban fringe grounds maintenance based on a new service specification.
West Wiltshire, North Wiltshire, Salisbury and Kennet Districts have recently published a toolkit resulting from phase 1 of their, SWCoE funded, Urban Grounds Maintenance & Street Cleansing project. The first phase of the project was to investigate and document the relative size, cost and delivery processes for grounds maintenance and street cleansing services in each of the four partner district councils and to compare the relative performance. The project has now progressed to procurement and IT infrastructure implementation.
The outputs of the first stage of the project have been documented into a tool kit. The toolkit contains all information required for other local authorities to complete the same activity including benchmark figures, best practice and model processes.
