A Perthshire councillor is "disappointed" after a council committee voted to "squirrel away" £1.2 million of taxpayers' money rather than "fund immediate priorities".
Carse of Gowrie representative Alasdair Bailey accused fellow elected members of "effectively borrowing £1.2 million from residents".
He said the "significant amount" was equivalent to 1.4 percentage points on the council tax rate.
