An unexpected £4.5 million will be used to ensure Falkirk's digital learning programme is kept up to date
An unexpected £4.5 million of capital funding will be invested in Falkirk Council's digital learning programme for schools.
However, as the decision was confirmed just hours before Falkirk Council met to approve its budget in February, members agreed to delay any decision on its capital budget in order to get more information. The meeting also confirmed an extra £1.77 million in revenue from the Scottish Government will be received by the council as a result of money it received in the UK's spring budget.
The SNP administration also accepted an addendum put forward by Independent councillor Laura Murtagh.
