redundancy
Councils are addressing redundancy costs and role restructures as part of departmental reorganisations.
Brent Council's General Purposes Committee approved a redundancy within its Housing Management department in March 2026. This decision followed the creation of a new holistic area tenancy manager role, which aims to embed the tenant voice within the organisation and foster closer council-tenant relationships, as highlighted by Councillor Fleur Donnelly-Jackson, Cabinet Member for Housing.
Haringey Council is reorganising its Environment and Residence Experience department, facing approximately £450,000 in redundancy costs. In December 2025, the Disciplinary, Grievance and Dismissal Panel approved a redundancy package for a Head of Service role, with the reorganisation aiming to reduce senior management costs and improve efficiency by deleting six Head of Service roles and replacing them with three.
