    • Question by: Unmesh Desai
    • Meeting date: 07 September 2023

  • Gender Pay Gap in Senior Positions

    A survey from the Office for National Statistics shows the pay gap has widened from 13.9 to 15.9 per cent in highly paid senior management roles over the past year.

With the help from Go-Ahead busses and the council’s own passenger transport services, residents were taken to where they needed to be. Will you be ensuring that the good practice shown by Barking and Dagenham Council on the day of the incident can be...
