| Council Resource | Community and Enterprise |
| Service Area | Community and Enterprise |
| Aims and Objectives | To identify and review existing tasks within Countryside and Greenspace to make best use of available resources with minimum impact on the legislative and core requirements of the service or staff. |
| Conclusion | Grounds Services is required to review the best use of available resources for 2016/17 and this identified services which were either non essential or those which could be reduced with minimal impact on service users or staff. . In terms of the Countryside and Greenspace Ranger Service, a reduction of 2 operatives from the original 10 was identified as this had no major detrimental effect on the provision of service. No adverse impact has been identified in relation to any of the specific equality groups as the team affected are of mixed gender and age profile. The outcome of this review is that the reduction of staff will be managed through trade union negotiation and in line with the Council's Collective Agreement to redeploy all displaced staff through the Council's Switch 2 programme or through natural wastage such as retiral or backfilling of vacant positions. It is therefore considered that the impact of this proposal will be mitigated as much as possible. |
