As part of a national dispute, some Council staff will be on strike next Wednesday and Thursday, the 16th and 17th July. The exact nature of any disruption is not yet known, but the Council have set up a special section on their website to notify local residents what effect the strike will have on services.

The Full Council meeting scheduled for next Wednesday (16th July) has been moved forward to next Tuesday instead, presumably to spare the more left-wing members of the Labour Group the embarassment of having to cross a picket line.
I have just looked at which services will be affected. I find it appalling that cremations and burials will be stopped for two days. Schools closing are bad enough but I am speechless about funerals. It is unacceptable. How is this going to gain support off anyone. Can anything be done?
