Aitken attacks 'secret cuts'
LABOUR group leader Ewan Aitken today hit out at "secret council cuts" after two adult education classes closed their doors.
Leith Learners, an adult literacy class held at Leith Academy, has been closed and an English for speakers of other languages class also recently wound up.
It is understood that the number of people attending the classes was very small. But Councillor Aitken said: "Vulnerable people in the front line are suffering."
A council spokeswoman said: "Where classes are discontinued due to low numbers, those remaining on the course are supported to find another suitable class."
