Campaigners targeting dozens of UK councils in push for four-day week

Move comes as South Cambridgeshire becomes first UK local authority to vote to make work pattern permanent

Dozens of councils have been targeted by campaigners calling for a four-day week after it that emerged one local authority had become Britain's first to vote to adopt the pattern permanently.

The move comes shortly after thousands of private-sector workers were also told they would be staying on shorter working weeks with the same pay after more than 200 businesses decided it worked for them - in some cases, after lengthy trials.
