A MAJOR part of next year's Tory budget will be redundancy payments for staff set to lose their jobs.

The Tory led council has announced that about 470 jobs will go and unions fear a significant proportion of them will be compulsory redundancies.The council has budgeted £3m next year and a further £3m the year after to pay off staff.

The council is also planning to overhaul its "back office" functions, such as finance and IT. This could include merging its services with those of other councils. As a result, £2m is included in next year's budget and a further £2m is in the following year's.

Some £1.5m is needed to improve council buildings to reduce the risk from fire, legionella, and asbestos.
