I use to consult for the Council's property department (run by Capita) and the lift engineers would be asleep most afternoons, snoring sometimes quite loudly.
I think my Council tax is now at £2800 PA 
Few Council's have their own direct labour forces anymore. And it's hardly fair to blame Capita's poor workforce on their client.
Of course, much of the Council Tax goes to pay for things like police, social care, education etc. rather than layabout work men.
Great ruse by Maggie, that one. Get Local Authorities to shoulder the blame for a tax that no one appreciates.  Visiting from rrsport.co.uk

TUPEd across.
Bit like changing the manager of a football side where most of the original players struggle to kick a ball.

I can also talk about agreed rates that the LA agreed with Capita. 900k for services. I'll happily do it for £120k, provide a better service, and still make money.
Actually I do...
