Scotland's largest council has announced 1500 jobs are likely to go as part of £130m in cuts to its budget.

Glasgow City Council is expected to pass its budget for the next financial year on Thursday, when a swathe of cuts to services, community grants and contracts will be announced.

The move will lead to £25m being axed from the council's jobs budget, although it has committed to no compulsory redundancies and said this will be achieved "through natural wastage" as well as the redeployment of staff.

Schools, museums, libraries and office buildings will be cleaned less often and to a lower standard with cuts of £700,000 to building cleaning.

Councillors are also expected to give the go-ahead to £48,000 in cuts to graffiti removal, saying it will no longer be a priority service in affected areas and will now "take longer to remove some graffiti".

If passed, the authority will cut almost £10m from its procurement bill in the next year by renegotiating contracts and consolidating how goods, services and works are purchased across all services and arm’s-length external organisations.

There will also be a reduction in the amount available for grants, with Police Scotland targeted for £1.6m in savings if the budget is passed at a meeting of the full council on Thursday afternoon.

Assisted garden maintenance services would also be cut by £1.5m, meaning residents will have grass and hedges cut less often each year.

A cut to cultural grants by £208,000 would remove support for the Theatre Royal and reduce grants for the King’s Theatre and Pollok House by 10%.

Council leader Frank McAveety said: "The £130m cuts we face over the next two years are not just cuts from Westminster. Glasgow has had a double whammy of Holyrood cuts piled on top of those from Westminster.

"When I became leader, the city faced a cuts bill of £103m. Now its £130m. Make no mistake, this is a direct result of the Scottish Government’s budget cuts.

"The Scottish Government is passing on a bigger share of the cuts to local government than those being passed on to it from the UK Government.

"While the Scottish Government budget was cut by 1.5% by Westminster here in Glasgow our budget faces a 4.4% cut from Holyrood. The result can be figured in tens of millions."

He added: "Despite facing a huge budget shortfall, Glasgow City Council has committed to investing £100m in our schools and community facilities over the next five years with an increased capital investment fund.

"This fund will ensure that these vital facilities across the city continue to operate and don’t suffer from the cuts being imposed on us - a real example of the council delivering for the communities of Glasgow."

A number of services are expected to be protected, with £100m in capital investment for community assets and schools in the next five years and a City Building merger with GHA, guaranteeing 90 new apprenticeships this year.

The £255m 4Rs programme for the rebuilding or refurbishment of primary, nursery and additional support for learning schools will also be maintained along with free swimming for the under-16s and affordable warmth dividend of £100 for the over-80s.

Council tax bills will again be frozen at 2005 levels, with a Band D rate of £1213.
