My complaint isn't about the rank and file folks trying to do a job. It's about the recent move towards treating local authorities as businesses rather than services. Ours has a chief executive where we used to have a clerk of works. They're not businesses. They don't have to compete for business, their income is guaranteed and quite frankly they seem to be largely unaccountable for mistakes. I think this is why so many see themselves as local authorities over us instead of public servants whose wages are paid by us-their employers. That's it, rant over😊
