GRASS cutting in Moray is back on the agenda.
The SNP Administration wants to reinstate the measure at a special meeting of Moray Council on Tuesday.
The move would reintroduce grass cutting that was stopped last year and also withdraw a plan for further reductions in the coming year.
SNP Council Leader Graham Leadbitter said: “Last year Moray Council faced some of its toughest budget decisions to address a significant budget deficit. Having taken those decisions and with further hard work by council officers in the past year the council’s finances are in a much healthier position.
“While things have significantly improved we should, however, not be complacent.
"We have looked at various options and we consider that reinstating grass cutting is an affordable option that will have a positive impact on our communities.
“Moray’s residents have been very supportive of us in administration in the council in what are very challenging circumstances. We will continue to work closely with those communities and other councillors to find the most positive way forward while taking a responsible approach to budgeting.”
