Councils in talks over single workforce

Havant BC and East Hampshire DC are in talks over creating a single flexible workforce.

Leader of Havant, Cllr Michael Wilson, said the move would build on the ‘successful foundation’ of having a shared chief executive and management team.

He said: ‘All councils face many competing pressures – from reductions in government funding to the recovery from coronavirus - and it is clear we cannot stand still and allow these issues to overtake us.’

A Havant spokesman added: ‘These proposals are being considered as a way of delivering the kind of agility and financial sustainability that could not be achieved through piecemeal service improvements.’

Why age alone shouldn’t define local government leadership

Age should never define leadership in local government, says Graeme McDonald, Managing Director of Solace. Instead, councils should invest in inclusive, skills-based development for officers and councillors to deliver effective public services.
