Shrinking CLG to shed 700 jobs |
|
Friday 8th April 2011
Communities and Local Government has confirmed it is to cut its headcount by almost a third.
CLG will slash around 700 posts from its current 2,200, the department said this week.
It will use ‘voluntary departure schemes’ in a bid to minimise the need for compulsory redundancies.
A spokesman said CLG was becoming ‘smaller and stronger’.
He said: “Our role will alter significantly, doing more enabling and less intervening, and playing a more strategic role.
“Our administration budget will be cut by one third, with similar reductions in staffing levels. We are aiming to achieve as much of this reduction as possible through voluntary departures and natural wastage.”

Im sure there are individual stories of the impact that the job losses will have on the staff and having been made redundant in the past I know how hard it is to go home to your Mrs and tell her, but………………
Putting all that aside, I think a measure of the success of this organisation is that the more effective it has been the smaller it will become, until one day its work will be done and it will close completely. People on here talk about credit bubbles and housing bubbles etc that have been inflated but we never talk about the ‘non job bubble’ that was created and is now having to be deflated. There, I think I came over all serious for a moment then Jonnie |

Why has it taken almost a year for this to happen?
What exactly was Eric Pickles doing while in opposition? How long will it actually take for ‘voluntary departure schemes’ (more public sector twaddle) to have some effect in reducing headcount? Wet, wet, wet. Cameron's Government 3/10 |
