Birmingham City Council I am writing to explain why I support the present position of the city council regarding the fleet and waste issue. We have had to make massive cuts to the council structure because of the Government's austerity agenda, a total of £800m by 2018. These cuts have had a detrimental impact on our staff in terms of pay, leave and, for many, working conditions. Thousands of staff have been made redundant. Many staff have changed roles and we need to show all our staff they are being treated the same. We are moving forward with a leaner council and all staff are taking the pain. Unfortunately, that must include staff working in fleet and waste. If we don't continue with our plans for the grade 3s, our whole change programme comes off the rails.
