On Thursday evening the Conservative councillors on the Business Management Overview and Scrutiny Committee voted to support the Cabinet Decision to award Capita the lucrative NSCSO contract. Over the past three weeks, UNISON and residents have submitted over 300 questions about the Capita NSCSO contract. 300 hundred questions far more than all the questions raised by councillors in three council meeting. The NSCSO Dossier contained 173 critical questions none of which have been answered. On 7 January UNISON will begin talks with Capita. At these meetings we will be seeking to negotiate with Capita to stop the 200 plus redundancies identified in their winning contract submission.
