Over the past decade, the process of out-sourcing has become a common aspect of daily life for many British companies. However, a local governmental authority recently took this phenomenon to a new level when it out-sourced its waste-collection, leisure facilities, planning, licensing and pest control. Acting now in a supervisory role, the local authority now has only fourteen remaining employees. A spokesman for the council stated that this move aimed to reduce spending cuts, as central government grant money is cut substantially across the country.Talking about her work load since the job cuts, a remaining employee commented that the cuts have brought more variety to her day as different tasks now come under one officer, when they would have been segregated prior to the cuts. It remains to be seen whether such changes will stream line local government authorities into more commercial like operations.
