More than 200 people have signed a petition demanding Stirling Council rethink a budget cut they say would put the future of Fintry Nursery in jeopardy and disadvantage working parents.
The minority Labour administration, backed by Tory councillors, voted for changes to the operating models of both Fintry and Aberfoyle Nurseries at the budget meeting last Thursday.
Figures tabled showed the Aberfoyle option would save £59,000 in the 2023/24 financial year and £36,000 the year after, with the Fintry proposals saving £28,000 and £17,000 respectively.
