Dundee City Council has warned it will have to make nearly £16m of cuts in the next financial year.

The authority said it has been forced to find savings following the recent Scottish Government budget.

A report will go before councillors on Monday outlining the savings target of £15.7m.

Willie Sawers, the council's finance spokesman, said: "This report allows us to make detailed plans on the way to make efficiencies and shape services for the future.

"Within that process, we will continue to do the very best we can for the people of this city and remain focused on our key priorities of jobs, social inclusion and quality of life.

"These three elements are at the heart of everything we do and there has been significant progress in each of these key priorities."

He added: "We will approach the revenue budget process with the aim of protecting front-line services, and continuing our investment in people's priorities including jobs, young people and reducing inequality."
