QUESTION NO. 10

QUESTION: Councillor M. Ward

"Can the Council provide a report detailing the amount of staff employed by the Council in the Public Realm section in 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017?"

REPLY:

Figures for 2013 through to 2017 do not provide a like for like comparison as there was a national recruitment embargo in place in 2013 which was lifted in 2015.

Numbers in place in Public Realm now exceed those in place in 2013.

A Public Realm work force number is agreed for both outdoor and indoor staff and recruitment continues to fill remaining vacant positions. 

Budget 2017 provides for an additional 15 seasonal staff which will be recruited in the coming weeks.
