Purpose

NFDC provides 23 public conveniences across
the district. Day-to-day management and cleaning of these
facilities is carried out by the Streetscene team, within Place
Operations. The buildings are opened 365 days a year, with cleaning
taking place on 363 days.

Four staff work a rota of 4 days on (9.25hrs per day) and 4 days
off to complete the two daily rounds.

Issues within the PC cleaning service include lack of capacity to
cover team absences, availability in the schedule to meet ongoing
training needs, and time on rounds to consistently deliver cleaning
to the required standard.

On 12 August 2025, EMT expressed its support for a supplementary
budget of £26,000 (2025/26) and increased ongoing base
revenue budget allocation to accommodate recruitment of two
additional multisite cleaners and uplift from Band 2 to Band 3 as a
result of the Job Description Review undertaken alongside a
consultation exercise.

Decision

Recruit an additional 2 multisite cleaning
