How many staff is not the most serious issue. The quality and lack of qualified staff in some sectors is. Despite owning many properties and requiring many new and altered buildings I think neither WNC or NNC employ architects. Why not? How can it make any decisions about the built environment without employing the only professionals fully trained in architecture and architectural design.

It's telling that there is no mention of the mental health on the over-stretched employees in the reports. As a user, it seems that the whole NNC is totally unfit for purpose on every level.

Coupled with the MPs we are lumbered with, Northants political leadership is rapidly becoming a cesspool

Selling property assets is never a wise decision. Retaining them and having rental income from them for many years will provide a larger income in the longer term.
