I thought that SCC had offloaded most of the vehicles they used to own when they decided it was best to use contractors instead of having their own work force.  Each department (Water, Roads  lighting and others) all had their own vehicles.  I don't know what or how many they own now (obviously they do as per the post) and I  guess any that don't comply will have to be replaced. 

Or, be used in the suburbs, as the article I saw stated.

Some services which were contracted out have now been brought back in-house, like council property maintenance. There’s also home to school transport which has a fleet of minibuses. Various other services have vehicles, for example parking services.

Thanks for the information. I knew about the parking services vehicles but not all the others.  I presumed they leased vehicles rather than buy them.

I'm not so sure this is true, it went out to tender to private companies last year.

As far as I’m aware Council housing maintenance is done in house. Was contracted out to Kier previously.
