Stirling District Council Service Cuts

EDM number 631 in 1993-94, proposed by Michael Connarty on 17/02/1994.

That this House expresses its deep concern at the callous statement by the honourable Member for Stirling that 'Stirling District Council will be the toast of his constituents' following budget decisions which will result in a minimum of 18 dedicated employees of Stirling District Council losing their jobs, rises of 200 to 300 per cent. in leisure charges, and 25 per cent. increases in council house rents; congratulates Mr Allan Rennie, the editor of the Stirling Observer, who commented that he saw no signs of rejoicing in the streets of Stirling, whilst agreeing with him that the electorate are fed up with those who treat ordinary people as pawns in a political game or as mere figures in an accountancy exercise; and calls on the electorate of Stirling and elsewhere in Scotland in give the Conservatives their verdict on such arrogant and insensitive behaviour by rejecting the Conservatives at the Regional Council elections in May.

This motion has been signed by a total of 34 MPs.
