New investment in council’s vehicle fleet

Cllr Alan Quinn with Josh Alderton, senior engineer, and Callum Whelan, engineering technician.

Bury Council has taken delivery of 10 new vehicles as part of its £10 million fleet renewal programme.

The investment is designed to bring greener and more efficient vehicles to its operational services department.

The latest vehicles, costing neatly £1 million, comprise three road sweepers, two gully tankers and five tippers, along with additional equipment for highways repairs.

Councillor Alan Quinn, cabinet member for the environment, climate change and operations, said: “We’re making major investment in our fleet which will replace unreliable ageing vehicles and provide a better service to residents.

“They are also Euro 6 compliant, which will reduce carbon emissions and help us to tackle climate change.

“The modern equipment will also improve productivity and reduce Hand Arm Vibration (HAVS) exposure.”
