"The Greater London Authority faces a 19.2 million funding gap for 2026/27, prompting a review of all activities and potential staff redundancies The mayor's share of council tax is set to rise by at least three per cent, pushing average annual payments above 500, while funding for free school meals for all London primary pupils will be retained Ongoing uncertainty over Government funding and lost post-Brexit parachute payments, new office costs and potential losses at West Ham's stadium have contributed to the financial crisis"
"It is possible that this programme of review and transformation will result in cuts to GLA posts. GLA staff will be understandably concerned about what this potentially means for them. We are still developing options for implementation in the context of such uncertainty about our funding levels. Where roles may be impacted, we are committed to supporting affected staff through clear communication; redeployment opportunities; and, where necessary, a tailored support package, the draft budget states."
The Greater London Authority faces a £19.2m funding gap for 2026/27 and is reviewing all activities to focus on strategic priorities. All GLA work is under review and transformation could lead to cuts and potential redundancies, with no specific job numbers provided. The mayoral share of council tax will rise by at least three percent, taking average household payments above £500 annually. Funding for free school meals for all London primary pupils will be maintained. Budget pressures arise from Government funding uncertainty, lost post‑Brexit parachute payments, new office costs, and potential losses linked to West Ham's stadium. Support measures for affected staff include communication, redeployment, and tailored packages.
