The government does not want to 'micro-manage' a council experimenting with a shorter working week.
The council is no longer under a government Best Value NoticeThe notice, first issued to South Cambridgeshire District Council in November 2023 by the Conservative government, was renewed in May.
In the last notice in May, the letter from the Conservative government's Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities said: "The removal of up to a fifth of the capacity of the authority means that it is unlikely, in aggregate, for it to be able to support continuous improvement."The latest letter from theMinistry of Housing, Communities and Local Government said ministers recognised the council's "constructive engagement" during the notice period.
Group leader Heather Williams also disputed the council's assertions that staff liked the four-day week.
