Doncaster Council Cuts 700 Jobs

Doncaster Council has announced additional job losses, in a bid to make savings.

Simon Wiles, Director of Finance and Corporate Services, said: "There is still a need to look at further reductions of up to 700 posts in this financial year.

"We will explore every option to manage these reductions and we will only consider compulsory redundancy as a last resort. There are no firm plans for any specific services.

"We have met with the unions and will continue to do so in order to manage this situation as sensitively as possible."
