Town hall staff who can WFH for four days a week

The town hall staff who can WFH for four days a week: Councils encourage ‘hybrid’ working… and there’s NOTHING ministers can do

• Audit has identified dozens of local authorities that have started ‘smarter working’ policies that mean employees can spend most of their time at home
• Some stand to make millions of pounds by selling off empty buildings, after they hiked council tax bills for households
• There are fears Government’s levelling-up agenda will be hit as shops and cafes in town centres suffer from the loss of trade from absent staff
