Article Excerpt:

Looking back on 2011, it’s been a demanding and tough year. We have had growing uncertainty in the economy, growing uncertainty in Europe and the Euro, and uncertainties in job security (including my own!).  But we have much to be proud of at KCC.

A year ago, we faced huge challenges:

  • Failure in Children’s Services
  • The biggest financial challenge ever imposed upon local government through the Comprehensive Spending Review
  • The consequent need to reshape and restructure the whole organisation
  • A global and national economy going nowhere fast, with rising unemployment, particularly amongst our young people
  • The need to define a new role for local government in education
  • And early in the New Year, Pfizer announcing their withdrawal from Sandwich with 3,000 consequent job losses.
