Glasgow City Councils has warned that it could have to make cuts and savings of £60m following the Scottish Budget announcement.

Glasgow City Council leader Frank McAveety told BBC Radio's Good Morning Scotland that cuts to core local government funding means the local authority is facing a reduction of £60m-£70m this year.

He added that the decision to increase council tax would benefit more affluent local authorities but would only raise around £6m for Glasgow.

Aberdeen and Fife Councils have also said that they will have less money, with Fife claiming it will have to make savings of £30m.

Mr McAveety told Good Morning Scotland said: "We're talking about a reduction of £60-£70m this year, even with the three per cent. So we're talking about the maximum raising from that of about £6m, so there's a massive gulf.

"The truth of the matter is that local government services will have less money this year again and that's an ongoing thing for Glasgow and the minister should be ashamed of himself."

Finance minister Derek Mackay told Holyrood that he would be investing an extra £240m in local services when he announced his first Scottish Budget yesterday. However, opponents have claimed that there will actually be a £300m fall in funding for councils.

The draft budget revealed that the amount of money councils will receive from the Scottish Government will fall to just under £9.65bn in 2017-18. However, a council tax rise is expected to generate additional funding. Local authorities will also be able to increase council tax by an additional three per cent if they wish to do so.

Money to close the school attainment gap will also now be paid directly from the Government to head teachers.

Mr Mackay told BBC Reporting Scotland that the 'totality' of funds now available to councils would result in more funding.
