DARK SECRETS: Edinburgh council proposes cuts as 76 million budget gap forces difficult choices | Rare Historical Photos

Early proposals for Edinburgh council service cuts next year have been revealed amid a deepening financial crisis.

The council now has to find £76.5 million to set a balanced budget in February, an increase of more than £10 million since the start of the year - and rising to £158.6 million in 2024 to 2025.

This is on top of £123 million due to be cut from the council's fund for financing infrastructure projects, which is likely to impact the city's 10 year school building programme.
