Hull City Council confirms 240 staff to lose jobs
A DECISION to axe 240 staff at Hull City Council has been confirmed today.
The move will remove the equivalent of 170 full-time posts and is aimed at making savings of around £5.6m a year by automating administration-based jobs at the authority.

Hull City Council leader Steve Brady says the changes will protect frontline services.
It follows the release of 1,000 staff by the council early last year under a voluntary redundancy programme.
Council leader Councillor Steve Brady said changing so-called 'back office' systems in the business support department meant frontline services would be protected.

“Gerry Gilbert ... just would like to point out that the council or border control are unable to provide accurate figures on immigration either...
If immigrants are not in the local labour market as you point out who is sustaining their existence? the tax payer?”

“Can Mr Brady demonstrate where else in the country this Deloitte's model has been successful? No he won't be able too because these cuts go deeper than anywhere else. The reliance of making cuts of this magnitude on the back of systems is about as solid as building a house on sand foundations.”

“The brass letters on the wall at the Guild Hall always shown either on TV or by the HDM sum up the whole set up.
A slap dash approach to the task of polishing the indidual letters without using any sort of masking for the masonry behind them says it all in my opinion.
A "can't be a****d" attitude that seeps through the whole organisation.
A trivial observation I know, but getting the small things right is the basis for good governance.”

“It will all end in tears, no matter what they try. The leaders on this planet have let the robots have to much say in what and how to do things. Kick them in to touch, well some of them, and get the young people to use manual labour again so they can get a chance to earn some cash.”

“Bulldog, how many times do you have to be told, the Allams do not want to buy the KC they want the council to hand it over for NOWT!
Gerry-gilbert, the tax payers will not only be saving 180 workers wages but also 180 gold plated pensions for god knows how many years.”
