|  |  | Tories staff up at council 11th January 2006 7.5am | | | | Tories running West Berkshire Council are being asked to recruit an “Extended Schools Development Officer” to help schools run parenting classes, after-school clubs, or evening classes for adults. The council has secured £1.3m government funding to encourage schools to be used outside of normal hours, but feels that adding staff is necessary to continue the programme. The Tories have promised to be tough on the headcount of staff, and have frozen several positions since election in May. | | | Newbury.net - First with the local stories that matter for Newbury, Berkshire, UK. newsdesk@newbury.net | SOAPBOX: Discuss this and other local topics on the forum. | | | | |  | |
