Sharing of Building Control Officers on the single, out of hours duty officer rota for dangerous structures covering both Councils

17/08/2023 - Sharing of Building Control Officers on the single, out of hours duty officer rota for dangerous structures covering both Councils

Boston BC and East Lindsey DC have a single duty officer rota, covering the geography of both council areas, for dangerous structures notified to either Council out of office hours. The rota cover is provided by the Principal Consultant Surveyor (IH) (ELDC), Senior Building Control Officer (PS) (BBC), Building Control Officer (MS) (BBC) and Building Control Officer (CL) (BBC).

The decision being sought is under Section 113 of the Local Government Act 1972 for Boston BC to share three officers with East Lindsey DC and for Boston BC to accept the share of one officer from East Lindsey DC to enable a combined duty officer rota to be established for both areas.
