Birmingham brings more services in-house

Birmingham City Council has continued its drive to bring services in-house by ending its contracts with Capita.

A joint statement from the two organisations confirmed that ICT services will return to council operations after a four-month transition period except for data housing.

It follows the announcement that the council was also bringing back its road maintenance services in-house.

Until recently, the FRC had little involvement in local government affairs. But with investigations into council officers becoming more frequent, where is the political accountability?
