The report of the Management Team presented for approval a number of establishment changes arising from the ongoing operational management of the Council’s services. Members noted that whilst generating an overall saving of £42,948, this would not all contribute to a reduction in the anticipated savings target to be achieved in 2016/17 due to the loss of income arising from the cessation of a number of Tonbridge and Malling Leisure Trust service level agreements for which some compensatory savings were identified in the report.

(1) post DF0405 Payroll Assistant (37 hours, scale 3/4) be deleted;
