Public buildings across East Lothian could have their heat turned down as councillors are told 'doing nothing' about deepening financial strain is not an option.
A report by East Lothian Council's financial chiefs warns that they are looking at an £18 million overspend this year - £5 million more than they had planned to plug.
And it puts forward a range of cost cutting measures from suspending capital projects to setting all public buildings thermostats to 18 degrees and introducing energy 'champions' to oversee them.
