Let us hope for many new faces and MUCH more transparency from the next one, assuming that the next council keeps the system.
However, one thing has been revealed that EDDC has had a very poor record for sickness absence and after attempts to improve it, things have got much, much worse.
Latest figures shows that, after some improvement from April to September 2014 (0.64 – 4.61 days averages) it absolutely skyrocketed between October 2014 and February 2015 (5.64 – 9.39)
Sounds like a lot of people are very sick at EDDC.
I suspect that the sickness figures might be stress related.
If I was a middle-grade council officer, try to do my job professionally to the best of my abilities, I would find it very stressful indeed if senior officers and council leaders stepped in to override my professional judgements and give decisions a political spin.
