Mr Hoces has noticed how some employers in the US may expect their staff to be available over weekends, to answer the odd email or message. That kind of overtime doesn't fit with his outlook on a positive work-life balance.
The Ministry of Justice runs the facilities and Serco, which provides prisoner escort and custody services, said it recognises there is "more to do" and will work to improve.The inspection covered 94 cells at crown and magistrates' courts in Oxford and Reading, Aylesbury Crown Court, Amersham Law Courts, and other magistrates' courts in Slough, High Wycombe and Milton Keynes.
Other than one facility, inspectors found all cells lacked natural light and said debris was found on floors, with some detainees complaining about how cold and uncomfortable they were.Cells were not routinely cleaned after they were used and too few were suitably adapted for people with disabilities.HMIP found that following a previous inspection in 2018, two-thirds of recommendations had been fully or partially achieved.
But it said it found "complicated contractual arrangements or a lack of funding" stopped other improvements being made.Serco "constantly recruited and trained new staff" and training was found to be good but the company suffered a high attrition rate, the report said.
The staff were found to be "a real asset" but they were routinely boosted by officers from other areas.
When detainees were taken from prison vans at Oxford Magistrates' Court, staff were found to do "too little to protect them and maintain their privacy and dignity"."We've had a really, really great year and summer... and that's proof that if you've got the right recipe, people will come.”
However, some restaurants told the ONS the football tournament had had a negative impact on footfall.Despite some travel agents seeing an increase in bookings because of the Paris Olympics, overall bookings fell month on month, the ONS said.
Business owners are worried a sinkhole which appeared in a Dorking road is damaging trade.It first appeared in West Street - home to many of the Surrey town's antique shops - on 30 August, and has since been investigated by Thames Water.
