Labour’s group leader has claimed that the Conservative and Independent budget agreed by South Ayrshire Council ‘gives with one hand and underhandly takes away with the other hand’.
Ayr Councillor Brian McGinley also said the administration should have used millions from reserves to avoid cutting services and now ‘expects uproar’ from the public.
He said: “This is the Tories’ and Independents’ first budget, and I am sorry to say that it has failed to deliver what it promises.
