More funding cuts 'disastrous' for councils, warns Coslapublished at 14:22 Greenwich Mean Time 15 December 2016
Further cuts to council funding "disastrous", according to the head of local government body Cosla.
A special meeting of council leaders is due to take place in Edinburgh on Tuesday.
Ahead of that, Cosla president David O'Neill urged Scottish ministers to preserve funding in this week's budget.
The Scottish government said local government had been treated fairly despite cuts to the overall Scottish budget made by Westminster.
The local government revenue settlement funding for councils is due to be announced on Thursday, along with the budget.
