Due to a national shortage of qualified building control inspectors, the council has been unable to recruit permanently to this role despite repeated attempts.\nTo prevent a breakdown in statutory service delivery, the council previously awarded a 6-month temporary contract to Sarto Thomas to provide a Building Control Manager. This contract is due to expire, and recruitment efforts remain unsuccessful. The Council has undertaken a direct award for a further 12 month contract to ensure continuity of services.",
