The purpose of the GI is to inform the construction of a new depot. The depot is required to relocate the services delivered from the existing Montague Street and also the existing Redfern Road Depots, to provide one new purpose built 'super' facility. Montague Street Depot houses the Waste Management Services (WMS) main garage. It carries out repairs, maintenance and MOT servicing on the Council's fleet of vehicles which range from cars, minibuses to refuse lorries. It also carries out MOTs on vehicles belonging to the general public. Redfern Road Depot provides ablutions, welfare and office facilities for operational and administration staff and is also used to park the WMS fleet which operate in East Birmingham and collects and transfers waste to the Energy Recovery Facility (ERF) at Tyseley. It is also the Council's Driver Training Centre (DTC). The proposed new super facility will include for the re-provision of modern workshop/garage facility together with the relocation of the facilities at the existing Redfern Road Depot. The 2 existing depots will be amalgamated to make the best use of space sharing welfare, ablutions, offices and meeting spaces and to promote efficiency savings by operating one sustainable site rather than two older uneconomical buildings that are in a poor condition and in need of investment to modernise them.
