They've also had contractors laying new pavements. Actual working hours

sort of thing the Express would rant on about if direct labour.


Except that this is a fixed-price contract, and the employees
won't idle out their retirement from aged 60 on a gold-plated
pension paid for by council tax payers.


Then the council paid too much for that fixed price contract. Which will
of course include a profit to the contractor.

Very sad to know you don't approve of pensions. Your view will likely
change when you get older.
