"I want to know from the SNP council administration where their cuts will land."

Kevin Keenan, Labour group leader on Dundee City Council has challenged the SNP ruling group on Dundee City Council to spell out where they will impose cuts in spending in Dundee to maintain the SNP Government’s council tax freeze.

He said,

"I want to know from the SNP council administration where their cuts will land."

"These proposed cuts by the council’s SNP ruling group will impact across the local economy and families throughout the city.

"They result from the council tax freeze imposed by the SNP Government from which the gloss is now peeling off as people experience the effect of the cuts in local services created by the council tax freeze.

"For example, the SNP Government has cut the per capita allowance per child in education by 6 per cent .

"Dundee will not be able to sustain that level of protection in education.

" Alex Salmond’s decision to defer the hundreds of millions pounds of cuts in spending in Scotland from the Tory-Lib Dem Westminster coalitions from Westminster is a desperate attempt by the SNP Government to try to pass on the blame for the cuts to the next Scottish Government."
