Branch activists lobbied the Scottish Parliament on 3rd and 24th
February as it debated the Budget Bill, to call on the Scottish
Government to improve their settlement for Local Authorities to prevent
cuts and job loss.
Inez Teece, Branch Secretary and Vice Chair of the Scottish Local
Government Committee who attended both events with the branch banner
said,
"It was good to see such a big turnout at the lobby of parliament
on the Budget Bill.
"It is very disappointing that the Scottish Government
has refused to shift and is talking down the impact of the cuts on
council jobs and services.
