South Cambs District Council’s four-day week public consultation

People can now share their views on South Cambridgeshire District Council’s services during a trial of a four-day week.

Anyone anywhere can respond to a full public consultation which closes at 11.59pm on Sunday 23 March.

South Cambridgeshire residents can access the consultation online. Any South Cambridgeshire residents who would prefer to complete a paper survey can email communications@scambs.gov.uk or call 01954 713 000.

The information gathered during the consultation will help South Cambridgeshire District Councillors decide on the next steps for the four-day week at the Council.

The consultation was started after the Council Leader, Cllr Bridget Smith, signed a Decision Notice to approve its launch. This followed a discussion at January’s Scrutiny and Overview Committee meeting.

The consultation has been set-up so that residents can share their views on how they have found Council services since January 2023 – when a trial of a four-day week began.

The Council announced plans to trial a four-day week – where people deliver 100% of their work, in around 80% of their hours, for 100% of their pay – to help address acute recruitment and retention issues.
