City council plans to axe public toilets, libraries and school crossing patrollers to save £45m

Aberdeen City Council could close all of its public toilets, all but one of its libraries and axe all lollipop men and women in an effort save £45 million over the next year.

The local authority last night unveiled a raft of brutal savings which council co-leader Douglas Lumsden described as “heartbreaking”.

One of the biggest cuts proposed is to Sport Aberdeen, which will have its funding halved.
