Scotland's Local Councils - Treated With Contempt
Brian Wilson claims the SNP government has decimated local authorities with 'consistently brutal' cuts - is he right? https://t.co/gEblmrux0n

Brian Wilson speaks the truth - under the SNP Scottish ministers have become ever more powerful and unaccountable while Scottish local government has shrunk and become a shadow of its former self.
"Since 2009, according to the Scottish Parliament Information Centre, per capita funding for councils has fallen by 16 per cent. Glasgow’s per capita cut is over 20 per cent. That is the road that leads to Springburn Park and many like it. Perhaps it could be called Swinney’s Way."The latest SNP proposal which will suck up more services from local councils and hand power to Scottish minister is the creation of a National Care Service.
Sounds like another disaster waiting to happen.
