Quick smart card scanning times ideal at peak clocking periods

Portsmouth Council leader Gerald Vernon-Jackson has said the authority will work with unions in a clash over the scale of council job losses in Portsmouth. The controversy erupted after the government said local authority funding will be cut by 28.4% by 2015. All parties agreed the cuts would mean job losses at the city council. The union Unison said 400 jobs will go but Mr Vernon-Jackson said the figure was likely to be 200. Chancellor George Osborne revealed councils face an annual 7.1% funding cut in the Spending Review.
