MSP Fiona Hyslop has reassured locals that the SNP Government has “chosen to protect West Lothian Council in the Scottish Budget.”
The local MSP for the Linlithgow Constituency has said “despite the financial constraints of Westminster control, services and people in West Lothian have been prioritised in the Scottish Government’s budget for 2022/23.”
West Lothian Council is set to benefit from over £13.2 billion, announced by the Deputy First Minister yesterday, for councils in the Local Government Settlement 2023-23 – a real terms increase of 1.3 per cent since the Budget Act 2022-23.
