Sir,
On February 22, the Argyll and Bute Council administration, which consists of Liberals, Conservatives and some Independent councillors, will reveal its budget for 2018-19. It has already considered 32 proposed savings, some of which appear sensible while others look (and are) ridiculous, and if carried out would be extremely damaging to the local population.
It is now evident the Scottish Government will hand the council the best financial settlement it has had in years, perhaps the best ever.
