Welcome to highlandcutswatch, the site dedicated to monitoring the effects of the budget cuts announced by the SNP/Independent Administration at Highland Council. 

We are appalled that services are being slashed, affecting our most vulnerable communities, by an authority with millions sitting in reserves in its bank account. 

The site is split into categories for ease of use. 

Select the sections you are interested in and check in regularly for updates on any cuts being made. 

Please e-mail us if you have any information of cuts in your area and sign the e-petitions if you want to oppose Highland Cuts in these key services.

We are working to stand up for every vital job threatened by what the council is calling ‘savings’. 

Cuts to our front line staff – teachers, school support staff and to vital voluntary organisations like Age Concern are completely unnecessary and their impact will be felt across all our communities.
