Anger as Latest Cuts hit Creches



Edinburgh SNP Leader today said: "Edinburgh Leisure's job is to provide sports facilities - not childcare." A slap in the face to Edinburgh's hardworking families.

With the SNP voting through a £300,000 to Edinburgh Leisure services all bit two of the city's creches will close. Parents across the city reacted with anger as their ability to use key city public services was lost at a swipe of a pen.

What has the council got against hard-working families? 320 full time nursery places gone, nearly £1million in surestart services for Edinburgh's most vulnerable services lost, community education services cut, school budgets cut - now creche services.
