North Tyneside Council has warned up to 350 jobs will be cut over the next two years, as it faces budget cuts of £50m.
The council has issued an HR1 notice, confirming it expects future redundancies and job reductions as it restructures services across the council.
Chief executive, Patrick Melia, said the council’s budget is expected to reduce by £46-£50, over the next three years.
He said; ‘The council has a good track record in minimising the number of compulsory redundancies. In previous years we have managed to consistently keep redundancies under those noted in the HR1 Notice and the majority of redundancies have been voluntary.
‘We will once again put our efforts into working with trade unions on any measures which will mitigate or reduce the number of compulsory redundancies necessary.’
