Nick Corbel, regional representative of Unite the Union, said he hoped that the level of public support would make the Infrastructure Department – formerly known as TTS – abandon its plans to outsource services as part of the £4.5 million in savings it has been ordered to make.

The union is due to ballot members on whether to begin industrial action in protest against the cuts, and Mr Corbel said that ballot papers would be sent out soon.
