English councils warned against adopting four-day week

Councils in England are cautioned against implementing a four-day working week by Local Government Secretary Steve Reed. A Labour source emphasizes the need for councils to provide high standards and work diligently to serve residents five days a week. Reed expressed disappointment in South Cambridgeshire District Council's adoption of a four-day week and warned that offering full-time pay for part-time work could be considered indicative of potential failure.
