Eleven jobs within a Leeds City Council department are set to be axed as the cash-strapped local authority tries to cut costs.
The posts, which are in the council’s city development unit, are all currently vacant, so no existing staff will be made redundant as a result of the move. Among the jobs being lost are a markets inspector, a bridges technician and a regeneration officer.
Put together, cutting the 11 posts will save the council just over £470,000, according to a document outlining the decision on the local authority’s website.
