"Just over 200 of you now have had the difficult news that your post is one of the posts we propose to delete, subject to the outcome of the consultation now underway. I am sorry that you have had this news. As I said on Thursday, these proposals are not, in any way, driven by judgements on the quality of the work which individuals are doing. I know how committed you all are to the GLA and how hard you work."
"A total of 100 jobs at the Greater London Authority are expected to be lost, with staff currently being invited to apply for voluntary redundancy. This will trim the GLA's wage bill by 10m a year, with a further 5.5m being sought from efficiency savings."
"However the mayor has decided to press ahead with reducing the size of the City Hall workforce in order to prioritise political initiatives, such as spending an additional 8m on rough sleepers, 18m on a quango to part-pedestrianise Oxford Street and 5m on a swimmable London programme."
London mayor Sir Sadiq Khan has ordered significant workforce reductions at City Hall, affecting over 200 staff members. The Greater London Authority expects to eliminate approximately 100 jobs, reducing its annual wage bill by £10 million with an additional £5.5 million sought through efficiency savings. The GLA currently employs 1,525 people, with most working for the mayor across various locations including City Hall, home offices, and rented spaces. Staff are being invited to apply for voluntary redundancy to avoid compulsory layoffs. The mayor is prioritizing political initiatives including £8 million for rough sleepers, £18 million for Oxford Street pedestrianization, and £5 million for a swimmable London program. Women and staff aged 40-49 and 50-59 are expected to be disproportionately affected by the cuts.
