Description

External funding is being used to pump prime this service, which may be further expanded as both commercial and residential development occurs in the area.

The contract will be for one year with the option to extend annually for a further year (1+1). Therefore, if all extensions were taken the full length of the contract would be for two years. The anticipated start date of the contract is 1 April 2023.
