A host of unpopular budget cuts have been reversed after Stirling councillors agreed to reallocate almost £400,000 of funding.
At a special meeting of Stirling Council last Thursday, councillors approved a motion that reversed the decision to allocate £392,000 to Sistema Scotland to deliver the local Big Noise programmes.
This followed an announcement by the Scottish Government that it would provide £1.5m of funding to Sistema to deliver the Big Noise projects in 2023/24 - although the sum only took into account the original 10 per cent reduction in funding to the project planned by Stirling Council.
