Our comments yesterday with regard to the Market stability Measures and in particular, the Police Station Duty Slot allocation have proven correct.

One mouse mat is presently being despatched to our Bradford clients, who, after a number of telephone calls, managed to obtain the letter from the LSC (yet another one from Derek Hill) confirming that the slot allocation for Police Station Duty work will remain the same in May 2007, postponing the implementation of the new rotas until June 2007. The letter is somewhat convoluted, but reading between the lines, we believe there are clearly some serious issues with the data upon which the LSC wish to rely.

We now await with interest as to what option they choose to adopt after – you guessed it - another period of consultation with representative bodies.

If you have not already had sight of this letter, please contact our office for a copy (tel: 01642 225553) or send an email request to jrs@we-are-jrs.co.uk.
