The fleet owned by the council includes over 50 different vehicles which are not currently fitted with any additional features.

Some of the vehicles will share additional fittings such as van roof racks, ply lining kits and internal LED lighting, but others are department specific. Other vehicles which will be converted during the contract will be fitted with 3 tier shelving units.
