Local Government: Reorganisation
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what discussions his Department has held with officials from the Unison union on local government reorganisation.
Answered by Alison McGovern
The Department has been working closely with trade unions, including Unison, as we develop support and guidance to assist councils with the transition and will continue to do so throughout the process.
Several discussions have focussed on staffing matters involved in reorganisation, specifically the transfer of staff from predecessor councils to new unitaries, in recognition of the vital role staff representatives will have throughout this process.
