SNP opposed every single one of these 40 Labour budget cuts

These devastating measures include:

Reducing the School Clothing Grant for primary pupils

Ending the £10 EMA uplift for our Young Carers

Cutting Music Instructors in schools

Halving Working4U services, which help with adult learning, additional needs support, and financial advice

Axing CCTV monitoring after midnight, putting safety at risk

Slashing the Council’s contact centre, which deals with enquiries and housing repairs, by two staff members

Reducing School Crossing patrollers near schools

Scrapping the Care of Garden Scheme for elderly residents

Further reductions to grass cutting and open space maintenance

And to make matters worse, they’re hiking Council Tax by 11.5% – one of the highest increases in Scotland!

The SNP opposed every single one of these proposals, instead presenting a no-cuts budget that would have protected the essential services our communities rely on.

However, Labour bulldozed ahead, choosing cuts over communities and placing further burdens on the people of West Dunbartonshire
