    The levelling up, housing and communities secretary, Michael Gove, told council leaders this week he believed “very strongly” that taxpayers “need to have people working a full five-day week”.

    I’d rather someone did an effective job in 4 days than a miserable unproductive 5

      I would go so far as to say councils should be working 6 days a week…but doesn’t mean it has to be the same people all those days. But would be good if some services could be contacted on a staurday. But that is what shift work is for right

      Don’t suppose he said why he believed taxpayers need that?

      I’ve experienced working a 4 day week and I found it such a positive experience both from how much I got done in the 4 days and how much happier I was. I’d love for everyone to have that opportunity, especially public sector workers.
