This is the list of documents available for the submission By Councillor Malcolm Cunning:- "Council notes, with distress, the decision by the UK Government not to publish a budget until 11th March. Council believes that this situation undermines Local Government in Scotland, and directly harms the vital services that are needed in our communities. Council notes the recent Audit Scotland report, which highlights that total revenue funding from the Scottish Government to Local Government has fallen by 7.6% in real terms since 2013/14. Council further notes that money either directly ring-fenced, or linked directly to national policy initiatives now accounts for 10% of all Local Government revenue from the Scottish Government. Council resolves to support the COSLA campaign for fair funding for essential services, and further instructs the Leader of the Council to make direct and public representation to the Scottish Government, that the budget settlement for Local Government in financial year 2020/2021 should be base, plus inflation, plus growth, and that all Scottish Government commitments should be fully funded, to allow for further meaningful investment in core Council services on which every single citizen relies." .
