The leader of Falkirk Council 's Labour group has written to Scotland's deputy first minister to share her despair at the "chronic lack of funding" that will, she says, inevitably mean more cuts that will devastate services.
In an open letter to John Swinney, Anne Hannah told him that people in Falkirk are facing "loss of jobs and loss of services vital to all our citizens".
And Ms Hannah, who was newly elected as a councillor in May, warned Mr Swinney - who is currently finance secretary as well deputy first minister - that she "cannot accept" that the Scottish Government is not able to offer councils more help to face the challenges ahead.
