SMALLER buses are back on Environment's wish-list when it goes out to tender for new vehicles, the department has said.

The first phase of Environment's replacement programme will see it replace 12 buses, purchase two minibuses, one of which has already been secured, and refurbish up to 27 of its existing vehicles.

The department, which will be bringing a report to the States in September, said the tendering process for the 12 new vehicles would have the aim of securing smaller vehicles than are currently used on Guernsey's roads.

'In phase one, vehicles will be tendered on the basis of retaining the required carrying capacity to meet peak demands while securing vehicles that are smaller than the existing fleet,' said a spokesman.
