A teaching union says it has put a ten-point plan to a school's governing body to resolve a pay dispute. Six teachers are affected overall, about a quarter of the teaching staff, at a Gwynedd school in north-west Wales. Commenting on the plan, union official Chris Keates said: "This was rejected. Instead the governors opted to push forward with redundancies." Two teachers face redundancy, and two one-day strikes have already been held at the school over the issue.

Litter bin and other thefts are costing some councils tens of thousands of pounds. Rhondda Cynon Taf council (RCT) in Mid Glamorgan is one of those hit hard, with £6,000 worth of manholes stolen again last week. Nigel Wheeler, RCT streetcare service director, said: "We had to shut the road to make it safe. That was a nightmare. It had a knock-on effect to commuters and a cost to us.” Caerphilly council forked out £70,000 to replace metal bins last year.

A survey found that more than a third of workers admitted to ‘skiving'. Accounting firm PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) polled 1,190 people, of which 34% admitted to taking time off work under false pretences. Most of those confessing to the office crime said they did so because they were bored and depressed with work. Almost half of the skivers told PwC they planned their sick days by faking symptoms around the workplace in advance.

Due to the fact it will expand to a full time service in mid Wales, the Wales Air Ambulance emergency service will end up costing an extra £300,000 a year.

Revised plans which relocated toilets at a shopping centre to the first floor but left a single ground floor disabled cubicle were thrown out. Landowners Cambridge City Council rejected the developer’s new plans for the Lion Yard retail area. The authority explained its decision in a statement: “The developer is still looking at the proposals in terms of what is adequate for a shopping centre and not in terms of what is right for central toilets serving a city.”

The new BBC annual report has revealed an overall fall in pay to its star attractions. The corporation says that 19 individuals were paid more than a £500,000 salary in the year to March 2011, two fewer than the year before. Overall spending on talent went down 4 per cent, and executive salaries were also down. Part of the reason for the former was the BBC lost two of its most expensive stars when Adrian Chiles and Christine Bleakley moved to ITV.

Police say all manner of public buildings, businesses and even road signs are being targeted for thefts and the problem will get worse if metal prices continue their startling rise. British Transport Police told the BBC website metal theft was on the increase. A BTP spokesman said: "It can be very difficult for businesses to be totally secure from theft, which can often involve copper piping bringing in gas to their premises or cables bringing in electricity."

The only remaining train builder in Britain has had to lay off hundreds of workers based in the Midlands because it says all its contracts, except for some work with London Underground, would be complete by the end of September. Business Secretary Vince Cable said he believed Bombardier had planned to cut jobs in the UK anyway, whether it won the contract or not. Mr Cable told the BBC: "We can't reopen that whole process (tender)."
