A row has broken out after a community council gave thousands of pounds from a resilience fund to parents battling to have free funded spaces reinstated in a private nursery.
East Lothian Council announced it was not renewing its contract with Bright Stars Nursery Group last month as it removed four of the company's nurseries from its list.
However parents in North Berwick launched a campaign to challenge the decision and at a meeting of the town's community council this week they were given £2,000 towards a £6,000 legal bill.
