“Scotland's 32 councils have managed budgets well over the last year but face a difficult time ahead, says the Accounts Commission.
One of the most significant issues for councils continues to be resources. In 2017/18, funding from the Scottish Government reduced by 2.3 per cent in real terms.
Will you provide full details of the funds from Barnett paid by Westminster, but withheld from councils by the Scottish Government during the period 2017/18.”
