A leaked report shows all departments will be forced to make cuts, which include selling off all 13 residential care homes, axing 410 jobs and closing day care centres.

Other proposed measures include ending the Weeks of Action initiative to save £410,000, cutting £5m to children's services and shutting four daycare centres across the county.

POLITICIANS and union leaders rounded on Notts County Council ruling group yesterday and accused the authority of "kicking the vulnerable".

Opposition councillors criticised the authority's plans to sell off all 13 residential care homes, shut day care centres, hike the cost of meals for elderly people and start charging for day care services.
Liberal Democrat councillor Steve Carr told a full council meeting that it was a "depressing day for Notts County Council".

No cinema, pro tesco, silly spending, and now job cuts and serious severing of services for the elderly; Is this the most unpopular Nottinghamshire council ever?
