Glasgow City Council facing estimated £100 million worth of cuts over next three years
IN their financial forecast for 2015/2016 published yesterday (Thursday 30th October), Scotland’s largest council has shown that they need to find nearly £30 million in savings for the next year. The authority’s leadership has warned deeper cuts will come down the line in the two years after that, with predictions they will be worse than any previous 24-month period. Although the total local government budget in Scotland is the same as last year. Glasgow will again receive a smaller percentage of the available budget, resulting in a £13.1 million cut from the Scottish Government. In addition the council faces inflation totalling £8.6 million and unavoidable costs of £7 million. The council also intends to make a contribution to reserves of £3m. The required savings are reduced by the ongoing effect of decisions in previous years, which will save around £2m, and, although council tax will remain frozen, the Council has said they expect to see an increase in council tax payments of around £0.8 million. Speaking as the forecast was published, the Leader of Glasgow City Council Councillor Gordon Matheson said:
COUNCIL CUTS: The new figures from Glasgow City Council show that almost £30million needs to be found for next year, with an estimated £100million needed over the next three years.
“Everyone understands that the Scottish Government has subjected the people of Glasgow to year after year of disproportionate cuts. Added to the unfunded council tax freeze which continues to put real pressure on services, it’s only as a result of clear political leadership and sound financial planning that we’ve survived the last few years with no really substantial damage to services.”
