Furious Labour councillors are lambasting the Scottish Government for what they claim is an “unethical and dishonest” budget settlement which will cause job losses, harm to local services and a funding gap of £600,000.
A special meeting of North Ayrshire Council is being held this afternoon at which Labour councillor Robert Foster will put forward a motion, seconded by Councillor Nairn McDonald, demanding urgent action.
The motion reads: “North Ayrshire Council expresses its extreme disappointment with the budget settlement for local government and with its presentation which the Labour group believe is both unethical and dishonest and is in no way consistent with a partnership approach.
