A £42 million project to build two new schools to support East Lothian's growing population of families will be "slowed" as part of measure to tackle the county's budget black hole.
Councillors agreed on Tuesday to a range of mitigation measures proposed by officers to help ease the pressure of a £5m deficit in this year's finances.
Among the moves agreed are the mothballing of some council offices and reduction in temperatures in those remaining open to 18 degrees to save energy costs.
