Full time where I work is 37 hours a week with a 5 hour Friday. I’ve asked for a 4 day week by splitting those 5 hours over the other 4 days but have been refused. This seems to be about giving workers the right to request this arrangement, it shouldn’t force anyone to do it if they are happier sticking with their current 5 day week.
If the council maintained the road markings like they are supposed to then companies meeting their obligations to repaint markings would never make the news. It only gets picked up on when the original marking is basically non existent anyway.
