The height of madness...

is how LGA Daily News (3 Sept) titles this story.

I'd simply say: “I don’t believe it” and I don’t want to but the LGA does not publish without checking.

Rochdale Council has scrapped a scheme which has seen council workers paid for an extra two days work a year for waiting to catch the lift. Stephen Harper, Rochdale Council’s head of human resources is quoted: “Flexible working and faster, more reliable lifts mean it’s no longer as relevant, so as part of our recent pay and grading review we’ve proposed that this allowance be withdrawn.”
