As manager of the team I have overall responsibility for their day to day workload, management of sickness records, annual leave and time sheets.

I am responsible for overseeing a £400,000 Small Intervention Scheme budget over a two year period. This budget is used to provide a number of traffic management and road safety schemes across the borough, these could be as diverse as the provision of a number of Designated Disabled Parking Bays or Traffic Regulation Orders for waiting restrictions (single or double yellow lines) to the provision of school warning signs or SLOW road markings.

The objective of the scheme is to provide minor improvement works for road safety or traffic management in the borough within in a relatively short timeframe. Engagement and consultation with Ward Members and other stakeholders forms the basis of the schemes which are progressed, this includes requests from attendance at Community Action Plan (CAP) meetings and Networking Events, working alongside colleagues in the Council's Neighbourhoods Service. Ensuring that Ward Members and other stakeholders are continually kept up to date on timescales involved in the progression of schemes.
