THE Conservative-controlled North East Lincolnshire Council has earned a reprimand from the Government over its relaxed working practices.
A survey conducted by The Daily Telegraph newspaper revealed that, months after the end of the lockdown, 90 per cent of NELC are still being allowed to work remotely - most from the easy-come, easy-go surroundings of their own homes.
Along with Dorset County Council it has the joint highest remote-working percentage on the country.
A report in today's Telegraph quoted Jacob Rees-Mogg, Minister for Government Efficiency, as accusing work-from-home councils of "poor working practices" and "taking the public for a ride".
In the same report, a NELC spokesperson is quoted as claiming the authority had developed a "Covid exit strategy" after taking advice from official agencies.
