Leader responds to Scottish Government Budget:

Leader of the Highland Council Raymond Bremner responded to the Scottish Government Budget announcement today. He said: “Our officials will need to work their way through the detail of the Scottish Government’s settlement figures when we receive this in a few days, to better understand exactly what this means for The Highland Council.  We will issue a revised budget projection for 24-25, and implications for council tax, when we are in a position to do so.

“We look forward to seeing the detail on proposals for investment in affordable housing as this is a very important issue for communities in Highland. We also look forward to hearing the detail of the next stages of A9 dualling programme to be announced tomorrow.”
