The local authority fleet provider
will supply 49 Mitsubishi Canter box vans and tippers and four
Mercedes-Benz Axor tippers in a contract hire and maintenance
agreement with Lincolnshire Council’s highway division. In a
separate deal, vehicles, staff and training will be provided to
Barnsley Council.
For the Lincolnshire contract,
TransLinc has teamed up with infrastructure support company May
Gurney for the first time to help provide services such as road
repairs, dropped kerbs, potholes, fallen trees and accident and
emergency clear-ups.
Mark Werrell, TransLinc director of
Midlands operations, said: “The relationship with May Gurney is new
for us, although we have been in talks with them for at least two
years. It is a partnership with a bright future.”

for the right application.”

The passenger services contract
with Barnsley Council comprises 15 Iveco vehicles and a team of 28
qualified personnel for the transportation needs of local residents
with learning disabilities and special needs.
TransLinc will operate the service
with wheelchair-accessible Iveco vehicles in three different
wheelbases. The vehicles will be used to collect people from their
own homes in and around Barnsley and take them to day centres.
Kevin O’Donnell, transport development manager at Barnsley
Council, said: “Newer vehicles and additional staff training will
bring significant benefits to our passenger transport
offering.”
