Camden Council has spent £1.7million of taxpayers money in just two years on redundancy payments to staff at the Town Hall, Camden Labour has revealed.
The sum, equivalent to 1% on council tax each year, is part of the council's Better and Cheaper programme.
In an anwers to a written question by councillor Theo Blackwell, the council refused to reveal the total sum for senoir staff because of the risk of "public speculation."
Cllr. Blackwell said:
"This is a massive amount of money for council taxpayers to pay out in redundancy payments alone. It's clear that cuts to public services, like play centres or door-to-door-recycling could've been averted if the council hadn't been coughing out all this money."
