School cash cut protest delivered

Protest
Parents took their campaign to Scottish Borders Council

A 2,800-signature petition against cuts to school funding in the Borders has been handed over to councillors.

Scottish Borders Council is considering imposing a 2% "efficiency saving" on the devolved school management money, having already reduced that budget.

Pressure group Parents Against Cuts in Education (PACE) said it would oppose any such action.

It delivered its petition to a meeting of the authority in Newtown St Boswells.
