Letter: Central Belt bias

IN THE mistaken belief that the streets of Aberdeen are lined with gold, John Swinney has maintained the unfair and unjustified funding for the north-east of Scotland making it the lowest capital allocation per head of the population for Scotland.

There seems to be no end to the financial favours given to the Central Belt in Scotland by the current SNP minority government to influence the vast majority of voters who live in Scotland, making this perhaps a clever election strategy but very unfair and completely unacceptable for those living in the north-east.
