Undoubtedly there is a financial saving (and job losses, one assumes?'Every service, from chief executive and senior directors to street cleaners and social workers, could be shared, they said in a joint statement. Under the plans, each authority would keep its council leaders and local ward councillors.' )otherwise these councils wouldn't be doing it. But it rather depends on what happens to these 'savings' and how the finances and services are then distributed across such a wide and diverse area. The merger of the three councils isn't hypothetical - they are already working on the plans but as far as I'm aware there has been no public consultation. I entirely agree that Council Executive salaries should be at a more appropriate level to finance front line services in Wandsworth at a time when central government money is being cut. |
