Cornwall Council job losses ‘devastating blow’ so close to Christmas, union says

CORNWALL Council’s announcement that over 100 employees will lose their jobs so close to Christmas is a “devastating blow,” their union Unison said.

The council said that the job losses were a part of its bid to save £48.6 million under its draft budget for 2025-26, approved by the local authority’s Conservative cabinet in November.

It is battling against bankruptcy like that faced by other authorities including Birmingham, and said that a 45-day formal consultation will be launched.
