WEST YORKSHIRE PIE may be reorganised in the New Year. A plan put to the West Yorkshire County Council public transport committee last week envisages the streamlining of the PTE's top management-structure and creating two operational divisions based on Leeds and Bradford.
The scheme is designed to avoid job duplication, but employees have been assured that there is no plan deliberately to axe jobs.
The scheme is expected to result in administrative savings of at least £250,000 in a full year. Buses in the present Kirklees and Calderdale fleets will continue to operate from the same depots but will be controlled from Bradford in the new western division. The eastern division will be controlled from Leeds.
Each division will be responsible for about 50 per cent of the total PTE fleet.
