‘Bankrupt’ Birmingham city council could cut up to 600 jobs

Email sent to workers on Tuesday informing them of plans but council says no decisions made

Birmingham city council could cut up to 600 jobs in a wave of redundancies months after effectively declaring itself bankrupt.

An email went out to workers on Tuesday informing them of the plans, but no decision has been made yet on how many posts could be made redundant, or when the cuts will begin, a spokesperson for the authority said.
