“It’s not about lowering the cost of spend on it. It’s about delivering the service and then being able to trade-off it as well,” he said.
“Parish councils could hire the service as well as other neighbouring authorities. That in turn will help the council’s financial situation as well.”
Listen to our interview with Councillor Lee below as he discusses the council’s other company, Deliver SK.
Currently, the council’s ground maintenance is contracted out in the region of £1 million to Glendale Grounds Management Limited.
But, the agreement with the company expires in February 2019.
Now, the council’s cabinet have been recommended to approve plans to bring the service back under council control.
Senior councillors will discuss the plan at a meeting on October 4.
