Cornwall Council plans to cut 2,000 jobs in four years

Around 2,000 jobs are to go at Cornwall Council over the next four years, as the authority attempts to cut £110 million from its budget, which equals to a 30% reduction, the BBC has reported.

Council staff are being asked by their employer to offer up ideas on how the money could be saved, via space on the council’s website.
