CITY councillors were today accused of “assassinating” Edinburgh’s community groups after backing funding cuts that will lead to closures and job losses.
At a highly-charged meeting in the City Chambers yesterday, nine groups made last-minute pleas for more cash, but only one – the Edinburgh Community Food Initiative – was successful.
A £300,000 funding cut for Edinburgh Leisure means six of the city’s eight sports centre crèches will now almost certainly close, despite protests from mothers and a petition signed by more than 1400 people in just a few days.
Five of Edinburgh’s community newspapers, which have been published for over 30 years and are read by 175,000 people, are also set to be wound up, with the loss of 11 jobs.
Many groups also hit out after hearing of the cuts for the first time days ago, either from council reports or in the Evening News.
Scores of groups will now have to cope with no annual increase in funding – some for the fourth year running.
