South Ayrshire SNP leader Peter Henderson has slammed the council administration’s ‘reliance’ on officers to ‘tell them what to do’ with the budget.
Cllr Henderson said that the administration had failed to give satisfactory details on many of its proposals, claiming that they deflected questions when asked about specific items, and chose to refer questions to officers.
He also questioned Conservative finance spokesperson, Cllr Ian Davis, over his repeated insistence that officers would monitor services facing reductions and take action if necessary.
