About 1,200 jobs are set to be axed at Hampshire County Council under plans to save £55m for 2011/12.

The authority says it plans to save £7m by cutting senior management, implement a recruitment freeze and save £10m by renegotiating contracts.

Is this a good move?

It's probably a neccessary evil. Whether it's a good move will only be known when service levels are known after the cuts.
