North Yorkshire's newly reformed council has taken it's first step towards making a £67 million pound saving.
A new unitary authority says it has already saved taxpayers £3.8m a year in the transition from eight councils to one by cutting the roles of 24 senior managers.
North Yorkshire Council's Executive member for finance and resources - Gareth Dadd- says that in comparison to the expected savings, the redundancy costs will be small.
A meeting of the unitary council’s executive heard the total exit costs for three senior management as a result of the transition had been estimated at £513,000, which had been raised as one of the former district councils had an enhanced redundancy scheme.
However, the changes had achieved £332,000 savings of salaries, meaning it would take around 18 months for the council to benefit from the redundancies.
The new council’s management structure has significantly fewer posts than the total for the previous eight councils, 60 compared to 36, resulting in some managers moving to the unitary authority without a specified role in the new structure.
Gareth Dadd says savings are being made following the merging of the county's previous eight councils in top one authority in April
But says reducing the annual deficit is going to take time.
