At @StirlingCouncil meeting today, Tory/Cabal tried to dig themselves out of the shambles of a budget, which they bullied thro last week.They raised the CouncilTax to 7%,to slash nursery provision and Youth Support. Today they tried to distance themselves from their decisions.
The SNP government have agreed to provide additional funding to support the “Big Noise”. We don’t know when or how much. But Lab/Tory having realised what a shambles they had inflicted on Stirling ;want to spend money they don’t have to get them out a hole.
The SNP Group decided that it would be better to wait until we know what additional money the SNP Government were providing. Then we could decide how that money would be used to reverse the Lab/Tory cuts. This proposal was agreed by ALL the councillors , all Parties.
So , the Lab/Tory cabal know they are in a hole. They hadn’t realised the impact their cuts would have. They are now busy trying to blame everyone but themselves. Just remember , they implemented a 7% tax , we wanted 5%. They slashed nursery provision we wanted to protected kit.
You can’t trust them , what you can trust is , that once we know how much money we have to use from the Scottish Government; we the SNP group will use it to reverse the worse of the Lab/Tory cuts. Remember whatever the colour you can #NeverTrustATory
