Local authority cash - now you don't
This is Nottingham: Hundreds of jobs face axe at Nottingham City Council
MORE than 350 posts are expected to be lost at Nottingham City Council to make up a huge funding shortfall.
Estimates suggest the council must make £20m of savings to balance its budget for 2009-2010.
It is planning to save £12m a year by cutting the posts – because of job sharing, this will affect up to 400 people.
In addition, officers expect about 80 vacant positions will not be filled.
The council blames the funding gap on increasing costs and the economic downturn.
It is struggling to meet rocketing costs in child protection, following recent criticism, while the amount of money needed for adult social care is increasing as young people with severe disabilities reach adulthood. In addition, staff costs are set to go up and fuel costs will be higher.
