Hours cut in Salford council savings
Neighbourhood teams across the city will see their hours shortened as Salford Council attempts to make £40m in savings this year.

From September 19th the administration staff in Eccles, East Salford, Little Hulton and Walkden and Ordsall and Langworthy will serve 36 hour weeks.

By contrast, the staff in Irlam, Worsley and Boothstown, Claremont and Weaste and Swinton will have their hours halved to 18 per week.

A spokesperson for the council said: "We have consulted the staff and considered the service delivery priorities and given the resources available we have made the following proposals. These proposals are still subject to staff consultation but the arrangements are likely to be in place from Monday September 19th."
