Ashfield District Council has lodged plans for a new depot to improve service delivery.
Proposals, subject to approval, would see investment in the current depot at Station Road in Sutton, enabling the council to further enhance service delivery for residents in the district.
As part of the plans, a new energy efficient building will be constructed and infrastructure will be put in place to enable increased use of electric vehicles, saving money on traditional fuel costs.
These are not only quieter for local residents, but also helps the council work towards its Cleaner and Greener priority, with a target of Zero Carbon Emissions by 2030.
If approved, the new building would be home to the council’s services including waste collections and street cleansing and would serve as a base for more than 270 staff.
The new depot would also allow for the training of the council’s workforce of the future through a partnership with Vision West Nottinghamshire College.
The intention is for the college to use the site as a campus for vehicle maintenance and civil engineering, creating facilities for apprenticeships and other courses. This will provide local residents with practical training opportunities alongside active council services.
