An estimated 750 staff members at Kirklees Council could be made redundant as the council aims to save £47m.

The local authority said it needed to make redundancies to meet its legal obligation to set a balanced budget for the next financial year.

A council spokesperson said the council would try and avoid compulsory redundancies.

The spokesperson said: ‘The cost-of-living crisis and ongoing economic challenges have put pressure on council budgets across the country. We are already reducing costs across the council but we know further savings will be required over the coming months.

‘Publishing an HR1 notice is an early signal that we will need to make redundancies if we are going to deliver our legal obligation to set a balanced budget for the next financial year.’
