Proposals to turn Flintshire CC's leisure and library services into an employee-led mutual have been given the green light by senior councillors. The cabinet last week agreed in principle to create the new organisation, which, subject to final approval, will start operating next year. As part of the transfer, several swimming pools and leisure centres will become community assets. A group of 34 workers have formed a workforce voice group to help develop the plans. 'I have been really impressed with the engagement and commitment from the employees and this gives me confidence this can be delivered as an employee-led mutual with staff playing a key role in making decisions and increasing service performance,' said council leader, Cllr Aaron Shotton.
