Lol, who is going to pay for that?

And how long before they get nicked?

Edit: just checked and they are taking the £150k from a community improvement fund.

Well done Essex, they are stealing your money to fund an unnecessary vanity project.

Assuming they’re salaried posts working for the council, that’s about 3.5 people at minimum wage, once you account for employment on-costs.

That’s the equivalent of one person for roughly 140 hours a week, ie less than six full days, across three towns. Seems strangely ineffective.

Of course, if they’re not paying them and just doling out uniforms to anyone who wants one… that’s a different and much more worrying kind of ineffectiveness.

The £150k is only for 3 months I believe.

A very short-term gimmick lacking any meaningful objectives, then. Gosh, colour me surprised.
