Can government ministers make demands on how a council, of a different political affiliation in this case, is ran?

I’m sure there can be very bad ways of doing a four day work week but it’s certainly something I’d want in future.

They’re trying to go the legal route. Let’s hope they are bluffing and have nothing.
