Wirral Council Cuts - 22nd Feb 2011 10:01pm
Wirral Council is to cut 1,100 jobs within the next four months after a budget cut of £40m.
The redundancies - which the council said would be voluntary - were approved on Monday night as part of the borough's 2011-12 budget.
But the Tory-Lib Dem council said extra money would be invested in Sure Start and library services - which last year were threatened with closure.
About 6,000 people - excluding those in education - work for the authority.
