A campaign group has called on Kensington and Chelsea Council to be “fully transparent” about how much it pays recruiters after data showed it has spent around £16million a year filling temporary roles since 2018.
A Freedom of Information request found the council forked out £16.2million in salaries, fees and other employment-related costs for temporary or agency roles during the 2022/23 financial year before dipping to £15.9m during 2023/24.
