Hi Tim,
In case you didn’t catch my answer in the Chat. I’ve worked with BCC for many years officers and councillors on various areas (not waste or trees) mostly health and transport. I think people underestimate the difficulties they have to deliver things it’s taken an age and several cabinet leads to sort out the basic bin collection in the City. John O’Shea seem to have managed it at last !!
People were critical of consultants but most departments are understaffed, austerity has knocked millions out of their budget and there’s a lack of proper staff development. Also as Kerslake showed in his review relationships between politicians and officers used to be very stressed I think they are now in a better place. Knowing how long it takes to deliver policies and the work involved they will need all the help in project management that they can get.
