Bedfordshire On Sunday: Council pays £16m for agency staff
Robert Oxley, campaign manager of the TaxPayers’ Alliance said: “When local authorities have to do all they can to save money, spending extraordinary sums on expensive agency staff is counter-productive.
“There will always be a need to hire a few temps but depending on them too heavily is very poor value for taxpayers’ money, especially when council bosses are making staff redundant elsewhere.”
