USU@CUMBERLAND: COUNCIL VOTES TO RETAIN CHILDCARE
At the Council meeting on 21 July 2021, Cumberland City Council voted to keep Children’s Services in house.
For over 12 months, USU members from Cumberland Council have been campaigning to keep Childcare Services in house. Council has called for tenders twice, and neither time did they satisfy the requirements.
A working group including the USU, Councillors, USU members and management have been working for the last seven months on ways to make the service financially viable.
We thank everyone in the working group, our members, Councillors, and the local community for helping to deliver this great outcome.
