'Dozens of council jobs at threat from huge budget shortfall'
 Speculation
is growing that Sedgemoor District Council will this week announce
major job cuts after hitting a financial shortfall.
Burnham-On-Sea.com
understands the shortfall amounts to around £1.8m, and that
dozens of staff lay-offs are being planned at the council's HQ
in Bridgwater (pictured).
One
senior source within the council told Burnham-On-Sea.com: "Staff
have already been told to brace themselves for 50 job losses,
although some of the cuts could come from early retirements, rather
than redundancies."
A
full announcement is expected during the next few days.
