Three top jobs face axe at Swansea City Council

摘要

Three senior management posts at Swansea City Council are to be axed in a bid to save £300,000. Under plans approved at a full council meeting last week, the post of chief operations officer will be deleted, along with two so far undetermined roles from the 24-strong senior management team. Phil Roberts, who is currently the council's director of place, will replace chief executive, Jack Straw, who retires next month. Council leader, Cllr Rob Stewart, said it was the right structure at this time, 'It demonstrates our focus to reduce management costs while investing in frontline services as we go about tackling a major budget deficit,' said Cllr Stewart.
