Swansea council's cuts could see nearly 700 jobs lost

Councillors in Swansea have approved proposals which could see nearly 700 jobs lost.

Up to £45m could be cut over three years, with the council refusing to rule out compulsory redundancies.

Three care homes and a library could close, community meal provision could be withdrawn and school meal prices increased.

Deputy leader Christine Richards said the situation was the "most challenging this council has ever seen".
