From reading the article it seems to imply ground level jobs will be at risk to taken on 5 new directors. My own opinion is to keep the people who actually do the essential jobs and thin out the large number of over paid senior/middle management.
Services are falling apart...answer bring in even more overpaid senior management and dump more of the actual people serving the community.
Please correct me if I have misinterpreted the article.
Before a certain person comments. Yes, I am aware this is an Exeter issue not Dawlish.
