This is the list of documents available for the submission Motion by Councillor Richard Bell:- "Council notes the recent report by Unison "Councils on the Brink" which outlines the collective hole in Council financing across the UK of more than £4.3bn for the coming financial year, way beyond any previous estimates, and the cumulative figure will have risen to £8.5bn by 2026/27. Council agrees that years of sustained austerity from UK Government has led to this financial shortfall and that we need to turn on the page on the destructive cuts and austerity of the past. Council agrees with the Local Government Association that the new UK Government must increase funding to councils to protect vital services and the communities we serve. Council urges the Chancellor to heed these calls. Council calls on the UK Government to commit to the "significant seven asks" made by the Convention of Scottish Local Authorities (COSLA) during the General Election to respect and properly fund local authorities across these islands and instructs the Chief Executive to write to the Chancellor to outline these asks and seek her commitment to deliver on them". .
