Council to keep it local; rejects shared services

West Dunbartonshire Council has rejected a detailed shared services proposal, preferring in localised, ring-fenced services, a plan that flies in the faces of other the Scottish councils looking to merge key back office functions.

The council has rejected the notion that the Clyde Valley Partnership would save taxpayer cash and improve service quality. The scheme hoped to save £30 million per year. As the second council to drop out - from the partnership of eight – the future of the scheme could be in doubt.
