Groups seeking support from East Ayrshire Council will have to rein in their expectations amid the financial crisis, according to its top financial official.
The cabinet was discussing the progress being made with the council's community wealth building commitments, where it takes a proactive approach to improving the economy of local communities.
SNP Councillor, Elaine Cowan, had asked that the council work more transparently and ensure groups seeking support know exactly what support is available.
