Barnet Council look to privatise all services
Barnet Council are looking into the feasibility of privatising all council services.
Cabinet members at Barnet Council gave the go-ahead for the report into the proposals.
Under the proposals, a three-tier system would come into place. At the top would be elected representatives who would oversee the delivery of services, forming the core of the authority.
This body would contract out services to the group below, the voluntary and private groups bidding to carry out council services from rubbish collection to children's services.
Below this group would be frontline staff who would carry the work out.
But union leaders say the plans would effectively shrink the council, which currently employs about 4,000 people, to around 200.
