Council chief executive Stephen Town said it was not a "big bang" restructure but would take place over several months. "These are real people and we will be supporting them," Town said. As well as staff losses, Town said the council will be hiring more frontline staff in the regulatory area and for new community facilities like the new library at Westgate which has created 15 new jobs. He said total council staff numbers will rise from 6548 full time equivalents at the end of the 2018-2019 financial year to between 6600 and 6700 during the current financial year.

1. Stay informed about rates while you are abroad and keep in mind that rates could change very frequently.
2. Do not exchange currency at Airports. Currency Exchange at airports or other tourist areas offer less competitive rates and higher fees.
3. It's always good to travel with a few credit cards, but your destination might not be card-friendly, so if you need an abundant amount of cash, exchange them ahead of your travel to ensure you get the best rates.
4. Try to exchange only as much as you need, if you purchased way more foreign currency than you need, you are paying again to exchange it back.
