Fund our councils

-

By their very nature all large companies are guilty of inefficien­cy and waste and,g iven their size and complexity, councils are no different. Of course there will always be savings to be made. Having said that, local communitie­s depend, rightly so, on strong local council sand the many and varied services they provide. Councils will only be able to achieve this with adequate and appropriat­e funding.

Failure by the Scottish Government to do so will have a devastatin­g effect on the fabric of our society.
