2. Approval granted that following consultation, subject to only minor alterations, the final decision to implement the proposals be delegated to the Executive Member for Homes and Business supported by the HR team.
Reason(s) for decision
To support the delivery and implementation of the Market Operational Review which began early 2012 to ensure the service is fit for the future.
Alternative option(s) considered and rejected
1. To continue as we are.
a, Rejected - the service has no flexibility in capacity for future market service improvements or additional projects.
2. To employ an additional position of ‘Markets and Town Centre Coordinator’ and ‘Market and Event Team Leader’ whilst deleting the ‘Markets Coordinator’ post and leaving all other ‘Market Officer’ posts as existing.
a, Rejected – this would lead to additional staffing costs and the Market Officer posts would remain inflexible in regards to working availability and providing toilet cover.
