Rutland County Council says buying the 15 new vehicles is cheaper than leasing.
Robert AlexanderCouncillors have approved the purchase of a fleet of waste and cleansing vehicles for more than £2m.It said its current fleet was ageing, leading to breakdowns and collection disruptions.
“As you would expect, with my environmental hat on, I have questioned why we would be investing in diesel trucks. "But with vehicles this size, trying to make the fleet greener would need a number of infrastructure considerations costed and put in place before we could do that. “It is proposed that as soon as we purchase these vehicles, we prepare for the next time this happens in 2031.”
