LOCAL COUNCIL SUPPORT
Bath Land Management provides independent, practical land management support to town and parish councils.
Managing parks, open spaces and associated public facilities brings a wide range of responsibilities and challenges, from everyday maintenance and health and safety compliance to the development and delivery of major improvement projects.
I work with clerks, councillors, council staff and contractors to improve existing land management services and deliver individual projects. Drawing on more than 20 years’ experience across the public and private sectors, I combine specialist land management expertise with an in-depth knowledge of council processes and requirements.
Services include:
-
Independent reviews of grounds maintenance services
-
Management plans, improvement strategies and practical recommendations
-
Parks and open spaces, play areas, trees, sports grounds, cemeteries, allotments and public facilities
-
Project development, scoping, identifying funding opportunities and procurement
-
Preparing specifications, appointing and overseeing contractors
-
Machinery, vehicle and equipment reviews
-
Ecological and environmental improvements
-
Health and safety inspections and operational procedures
-
Staff structures, job descriptions and recruitment support
-
Reports and recommendations for councillors and committees
Every council is different. My role is to provide the level of support required—from independent advice on a particular issue or project to a wider service review or ongoing management support.
"Oliver has been an invaluable partner in maintaining and enhancing our green spaces. His expertise in landscape design and maintenance, as well as project delivery, has transformed several of our public areas into vibrant, welcoming environments for our community. The projects we have asked him to deliver have been completed on time and budget and have been met with overwhelming enthusiasm from local people."
