The filling of vacant posts has progressed well across the West and East units throughout 2022/23 although operational plans have increased the full-time staffing complement since 2021/22 by an additional headcount of 3. With 7 additional staff across all units now in post, combined with the delivery of new fleet vehicles, this is expected to lead to better resilience and performance against KPIs.
