💰 Newham Council paid £40.4 million to recruitment agencies last year.
To put that into context, Newham:
❌ Already has around £2 BILLION of debt
❌ Expects that debt to rise to £3.4 BILLION within three years
Yet despite all of that, the council is still spending more than £40m a year on agency workers.
And before anyone says “these are frontline roles”…
The council already employs thousands of staff.
So if you still need to spend tens of millions on agency workers just to deliver basic services…
…why not hire the people actually doing the work permanently?
Pay for it by reducing some of the endless management and back-office bureaucracy that clearly isn’t delivering for residents.
@SportWizz@nadalprop_ Wimbledon can be horrible. Big servers slamming down ace after ace. Quick points with less action. Don't you get bored of whole games being over in four or five shots?
