A fleet of about 100 vehicles that facilitate North Northamptonshire Council’s housing services are now being maintained by Specialist Fleet Services Ltd (SFS).

The three-year contract, which started in August, sees SFS maintain the vehicles at its depot in Kettering.
Two of the firm’s technicians have now completed Level 3 electric vehicle (EV) training so they can accommodate the fleet's EVs and hybrid vehicles.
North Northamptonshire Council’s executive member for highways, travel and assets, Matt Binley, said: ‘Making sure we have vehicles that are fit for purpose and well maintained is vital to ensure that we are able to deliver the services that residents expect and our officers are able to reach all areas of North Northamptonshire to help residents.
‘It is also important that we look to the future and it’s great that SFS are now able to support our growing number of hybrid and electric vehicles too.’
