Wandsworth calls for mutualy beneficial service plans

摘要

Wandsworth LBC has asked its employees to devise plans to share services with other boroughs or create staff-led mutuals to run local services in a bid to make further £20m budget cuts by 2015.As part of an organisational restructure that will see the number of departments cut from six to four, with a proportionate cut in senior managers, workers at Wandsworth have been invited to take over the direct running of their services through employee-led staff mutuals or social enterprises. A social enterprise formed by staff from Greenwich LBC recently took over Wandsworth's library services.
