Are there too many people at Barnet Council ?

Judging by the number of Barnet Council people at the second workshop to consider the future of allotments I would say so. You can decide by looking at this copy slide from the workshop itself.

Introduction
•Welcome to NLBP

LBB Officers

  1. Lynn Bishop – Assistant Director
  2. Jonathan Tunde-Wright – Change & Innovation Manager
  3. Paul Lawrence – Head of Insurance
  4. George Church – Principal Valuer
  5. Joshua Stanton – Project Support Officer
  6. Elee Amoa – Project Support Officer
  7. Jenny Warren – Greenspaces Manager
So the future of allotments that want to self manage is that largely they will look after their own affairs. 

Does it really take 7 officers to cast them adrift ? including an Assistant Director on £88,986 a year.
It does in Barnet, but should it ?
What would a commercial company do ? not this.


Yours frugally


Mr Mustard

    Perhaps the council should employ a new person to evaluate whether the organisation is over staffed?

    Don't give them ideas Dave - the Council have enough bad ideas of their own.
