For immediate release
Responding to Lee Rowley’s letter to South Cambridgeshire District Council demanding an end to their four-day week experiment, Elliot Keck, investigations campaign manager of the TaxPayers' Alliance, said:
“Local taxpayers will be delighted to see the government joining us in opposing the council clock-off.
“A local authority which residents rely on for key services is not the place for a radical four-day week experiment.
“Any other public sector body considering implementing similar trials should do taxpayers a favour and scrap the plans.”
