Issue details

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.
