Scottish Liberal Democrat budget success in Edinburgh

23 Feb 2023

Responding to the news that a majority of Edinburgh councillors backed the Liberal Democrat budget motion today, Scottish Liberal Democrat councillor Kevin Lang said:

“I’m delighted that a majority of Edinburgh councillors backed the Liberal Democrat budget motion today.

“Thanks to the Lib Dems, over £5 million of school cuts have now been stopped. We promised to stop this assault on education and we delivered.

“Our budget will also see a huge investment of extra money into addressing the dreadful state of Edinburgh’s roads and pavements, with extra money too for parks and street cleaning.

“Our council tax rise of 5%, lower than both Labour and SNP budgets, also means better news for residents during this cost-of-living crisis.

“We have always promised that Liberal Democrat councillors would focus on what matters most. We are delighted to have got a budget through that does just that.”
