Why must Westminster cut jobs?
Westminster council, like all local authorities, has a legal duty to balance its budget each financial year. With its central government grant shrinking by £100m, from £219m to £119m, the council must find savings. Cutting 520 jobs, mostly senior roles, is their plan to save £29m and meet this legal requirement.
