Savings plan to be released

A PROGRESS report on the savings that are to be made by the “in-house” alternative to privatising council services is to be made available to councillors.

In response to a question by Green councillor Steve Burgess about savings, council leader Jenny Dawe confirmed the report would be issued to councillors, but said: “We are going to have to pay about £11 million to deliver the public sector comparators and that is just the starting point.”
