Social work and education may suffer due to potholes
Further cuts may have to be made to education and social work budgets after councils secured only a fraction of the estimated £120 million needed to repair winter-ravaged roads and keep them clear of snow and ice.
The prediction by Cosla, the council umbrella body, came after Finance Secretary John Swinney announced he would triple the level of Scottish Government support for local authorities to £15m this year to take account of the effects of the recent severe weather.
