Kay Cutts said on Radio Nottingham that she intends to make about 1% of the workforce of Nottinghamshire County Council redundant We now know this figure to be 1370 (so far and before the New Year redundancy list). Using maths as taught on the planet earth that would suggest a workforce of 137,000. As the population of Nottinghamshire is 777,000, that would suggest 17% or 1 in 6 of all people in the County work for Notts County Council. Of course there are some who commute from other areas and we believe at least 1 from the planet Vogon, but to say approx a third of all working people in the county work for the County Council does seem a bit extreme.
Another explanation of course is that Kay Cutts can't do maths.....worrying.
Of course there is a third explanation as to why Kay Cutts may say something which doesn't seem to be correct, but plays down the true consequences of her policies......
