Dumfries and Galloway councillors are to hold a special seminar in a bid to come up with solutions to plug a huge funding gap.
The council is facing a £50m shortfall over the next five years due to prolonged inflationary pressures and local authorities being short-changed by the Scottish Government.
The matter was discussed at Thursday’s full council meeting when finance bosses indicated that council reserves would have to be used to help balance the books and maintain key services.
