460 posts at Dudley Council axed to save cash
Friday 14th October 2011, 11:46AM BST.
A total of 460 staff have been shed by Dudley Council as part of cost-cutting measures to make savings of more than £22 million in the present financial year, it has been revealed.
Figures presented to a meeting of the authority’s cabinet last night showed 56 employees had left the authority through compulsory redundancy.
The remaining 404 staff requested voluntary redundancy which was supported by senior managers and agreed by council bosses.
It has removed 314 full-time equivalent posts from the council with a further 129.2 positions achieved by not filling vacancies and another 41.49 by redeploying staff into other positions.
This places the total amount of full-time equivalent posts removed at 485. In January the council said it would need to axe around 460 such posts.
