Glasgow City Council faces 'brutal' cuts to plug £34m black hole, leaked document shows

Many are likely to be seen as highly unpalatable as they would affect low income families.
One option is removing the Children's Holiday Food Programme, which provides meals to pupils outside of term time.
Cutting this scheme would save £2m and council officials argued: “As there is now new national funding sources to support holiday food
