The MU are hugely concerned by proposals from Midlothian Council detailing plans to drastically cut the Instrumental Music Service. This comes as part of the councils efforts to close a £14.481 million funding gap.

Whilst we have not yet received the impact statement, we understand that the proposals outline plans to reduce the instrumental music service by 60%, and implement a service operated only by the funding received from the Scottish Government.

Read the Midlothian Council’s saving proposals in full.

We urge any MU members who have been affected to contact the regional office by emailing glasgow@TheMU.org.
