In addition, two tractors have been procured at a total cost of £140,000, as well as five tractor towed grass cutters, a hedge cutter, three ride on mowers, a remote controlled mower, strimmers, backpack blowers, hedge cutters and operating accessories.
There are also ten new vans, and seven cars being purchased to replace some of the older vehicles within the fleet.
