Decision details

This decision is to re-issue formal notice to the trade unions under Section 188 of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992. This is a result of the continued need to make savings and modernise services cross the council. Further reductions in local government funding were reported to Executive Board in July 2017. It is anticipated that this will lead to further significant reductions in funding for the Council.

This covers the requirements for statutory consultation, which could arise if the Council were to propose to make more than 20 people redundant following the required minimum consultation period (i.e. issuing a Section 188 Notice)

This allows for formal consultations to progress, in order that where ever possible the need for compulsory redundancies may be avoided
