Edinburgh Council to support moves to have abortion clinic buffer zones

BBC News Published image captionAnti-abortion activists have sometimes held vigils Edinburgh councillors are to support moves to have buffer zones around abortion clinics to stop women being approached by anti-abortion activists. The local authority agreed to work with other councils and the Scottish government in a bid to implement 150m (492ft) no-protest zones. Anti-abortion campaigners say their aim is to support women to make a different choice. Many women, however, have said they felt uneasy about their presence. A 4,800-signature petition organised by Back off Scotland, , a campaign group started by Edinburgh University students, was supported by the council s policy committee.

Warning over future council tax rise following freeze

COUNCIL tax rates will be frozen in Inverclyde for the next year after elected members voted unanimously to access extra funding offered up by the Scottish Government. Leader Stephen McCabe said he reluctantly tabled a motion to keep bills static, as he slammed ministers for undermining the role of local authorities to set their own tax levels. It means the annual Band D bill - used as the general measure of council tax - will remain at £1,331. Finance secretary Kate Forbes offered to hand councils an extra £90m in funding in her draft budget last month, providing they froze council tax for 2021/22.
