Job is becoming "dead-end", no career progression - what next?

Couple things: First, if you've got nothing to do at work and access to a computer, you can most certainly spend work time creating a business plan. Second, if you've never started your own business, you should find someone who is doing something like what you want to do and talk to them about it. It's best to spend some time doing some research, getting your ducks in a row, and then get feedback on your idea. Don't sit on it for too long.

work time is for work surely, if no work to do then id find some, ask if someone needs help with some of they're work

OP just seen you have asked for some other work,

there are people who do work for councils and do enjoy they're job

Of course there are people in the council that do enjoy their job, but with us where it seems those at the top or in the middle get the attention, training and opportunities whilst those at the bottom are treated like they are not there - it's frustrating.

I am actively looking around, though not having much luck at all.

I'd definitely be looking outside local government. Charities / education / housing association = places where your skills would be easily transferrable, I'd have thought.
