From our special Barnet Council Correspondent,
£2,600,000 musical chairs at the Council! http://committeepapers.barnet.gov.uk/democracy/reports/reportdetail.asp?ReportID=9386
Moving from Freer / Boland / Walkley setup to the proposed ... From 4 Deputy Directors and 23 Assistant Directors to 5 Deputy Directors and 21 Assistant Directors costs (drum roll)
"2.3 This restructure will address at the Senior Management team level:
- The large number of secondments; staff on acting up arrangements and the use of interims
- Capacity gaps
- Creating a management team cadre that is proportionate in the light of the downturn in public expenditure ( spend £2.6m more on a restructure AGAIN!)
- Clarity and consistency of role accountability across the Senior Management Team (<< are they having a laugh!)
- The capability to reshape the authority to respond to Future Shape requirements ( they haven't agreed what that is yet)
- It also recognises the additional responsibilities placed upon Local Authorities e.g. Transfer of responsibility from the LSC for 14-19 year olds"
Thanks to our special Barnet Council Correspondant for the blog. The Barnet Eye always welcomes guest blogs

So last year we had an expensive restructuring to reduce chief officer posts (paying Clive Medlam a handsome payoff no doubt) and now we have another expensive restructuring to recreate the posts recently abolished.
You can’t make this stuff up.
Get a grip Hillan, that’s what you are paid to do.
