Cosla said unless more money is found important work to protect the most vulnerable people in communities is at serious risk.
The Scottish Government sets its budget in under two weeks’ time and local government is arguing it cannot take any more cuts, warning of a collapse of vital services.
It says under the current published Scottish Government plans, local government is to get a “flat cash settlement” which it says means “councils will get the same amount of cash next year as they got this year, to deliver services which cost more". “Everyone will start to feel and see the difference - reduced services and support as well as poorer living environments."
Cosla's president, councillor Shona Morrison, said: “There are many areas in which local and Scottish Government work together for our communities and I fully appreciate that money is extremely tight. All Governments are having to cope with rising inflation and fuel costs.
