Council middle managers protect themselves

Rather than get rid of themselves and the chair warming time serving middle managers who do little and are top heavy they target things that people want.

They hope to deflect the flac on to the government instead of themselves and to an extent they will succeed unless you realise what a bunch on incompetent hacks they all are. Elected for their party rather than for any brains or competence they might have for the job, their only consideration is staying in their posts because most could not get a proper job outside in business.

In Huddersfield about two years ago the council made redundant 29 middle managers who were considered expendable and not needed. So how many have Rotherham got?

In private companies, staff are moved to where they are needed and still have a job. In the local councils they are made redundant, paid off and then some are re-employed on the same money in a job they could have just been moved to.

As for the new MP she is a champion of herself already.
