The visit of Dame Carol Black highlights the
work of the GM Drug and Alcohol Transformation Board which serves
as our Combatting Drugs Partnership for reporting progress against
the national drug strategy.
Other options have been explored, including multiple smaller
vehicles, however that was more expensive.
This option is the cheaper, most suitable option.
The Substance Misuse team is seeking
£375 for transportation for Dame Carol Black and guests
proceeding their visit to the meet the Deputy Mayor at the GMCA on
Tuesday 3rd October.
Dame Carol will be accompanied by approximately 11 other people;
therefore, a minibus will be required.
The driver will collect passengers from the GMCA offices at 13:30
and transport them via Bury New Road (re: Op Vulcan) to two drug
& alcohol services in Manchester (Phoenix Mill and The Mustard
Tree). Between 16:00 – 16:30, the driver will drop the party
at their returning train station.
The minibus and driver will be hired for three hours.
