Council Management Staffing Cuts

East Riding of Yorkshire Council has announced it is deleting nine senior managerial posts to save money. The Council expects to save more than £500,000 a year by not filling the vacant posts.

The most senior post to go is director of energy from waste which was split between East Riding and Hull City councils and will save each authority £79,000 a year. The posts of head of community and sustainable development, community engagement and Building Schools for the Future will be cut as part of the measures.

The deleted posts are part of overall spending cuts this year of £7.5m.
