Last chance for summits

THE final two local "summits" on council budgets are to be held this week.

The Drylaw Church summit is held tomorrow, while the city centre and Leith summit takes place at the Drummond Community High School. Both events start at 6.30pm. Councillor Phil Wheeler, the city's finance leader, said: "Please do not miss this opportunity to help us shape next year's budget."
