Decision Maker: Strategic Director - Neighbourhood Operations

Outcome: Recommendations Approved

Is Key Decision?: No

Is Callable In?: No

Purpose: The option to extend was within the provisions of the original tendered contract. It will give officers time to carry out a robust commissioning process and potentially consultation with stakeholders as there has been an increased amount of correspondence from councillors and residents over the impact of herbicide use in the public realm. The Council has a requirement under the agency agreement with Hertfordshire Highways that involves herbicide treatment; if the Council had no provision to undertake this work then it would be in breach of the agreement.
