Why this petition matters

Please sign this petition to save frontline services in Midlothian.

Midlothian council are looking to make savings as they are facing a projected budget gap for 2023/24 of £14 million. They have however tripled funding to the ski slope setting aside £31 million.

We face multiple cuts:

  1. Cuts to our Family Learning Contract which would lead to Midlothian Sure Start needing to close one or more family learning centres
  2. Cuts to other grants which would mean the removal of funding for a range of charities/services estimated at impacting 15 000+ people
  3. No discretionary places for A Good time to be 2- primarily affecting the opportunity for children with Additional support needs
  4. Reduction in therapeutic services (through Home Link Family Support and Play Therapy Base)

We ask you to join us in saying NO to cuts to our Family Learning Centres and other services!!
