I'm all for retraining and cutting benefits if people refuse to work, but this idea sounds counterproductive.
Companies, and councils, that currently employ people to do this work would have to lay them off...and I suppose they'd then end up on one of these schemes, doing for free what they were once paid to do.

I agree with you these proposals should not be putting people out of jobs that would be completely counter productive. I don't for a second imagine that the Conservatives would be so stupid as to let this happen. Not only do I expect guidelines/restrictions to prevent this, but I also think there is SO MUCH MORE to be done in local areas that currently doesn't because of a lack of funds to employ more people.
