Councils get fat over time. The council I worked for was hit by government cuts 5 years ago. Hard decisions on staffing had to be made and as a result, 50 middle managers in the Social Services dept. alone were made redundant with no apparent reduction in services to the public. Job losses were spread across most departments with little noticeable effect.

In another example, around 35 years ago, Northamptonshire County Council shed a third of its middle managers and for a time was one of the best run councils in the country (a friend was one of the managers that remained employed). In 2018, that same council was essentially bankrupt due to bloated management and reckless spending.
