In December 2019, Dacorum Borough Council
became the eighth shareholder in Hertfordshire Building Control Ltd
(HBC), a consortium company originally set up and owned by seven of
the Hertfordshire District and Borough Councils in 2016. These
comprise Three Rivers, Hertsmere, Welwyn Hatfield, Stevenage,
Broxbourne, North Herts and East Herts.
DBC’s joining of HBC was approved by Full Council. Background
is set out in the report to Cabinet on 10 September 2019.
HBC has proposed at this stage that a further one-year extension to
the agreement is concluded. The effects of the Covid19 pandemic
have had an effect on the work priorities in the short term of all
local authorities, and of HBC itself. To allow for more time to
consider a review of the effectiveness of HBC as an enterprise to
deliver the authorities’ statutory Building Control services,
it is considered both prudent and expedient to agree a simple
one-year extension to the current arrangements.

The Council in September 2017 approved for staff lease car allowances to be consolidated into basic pay on 30 days’ written notice. This change was due to be implemented 1 October 2020. However, it is necessary to slightly delay the implementation of this amendment to the lease car allowance. The reason for this is that the Council will be moving to a new payroll provider in November 2020 and in order to support this transition, the Council wishes to avoid any significant changes to underlying pay structures during this period of time.
