[I think I saw this posted earlier but it seems to have disappeared.]

I have to say my view, speaking as a councillor on Highland Council, is that the more I think about this it's gesture politics as the council presumably own most of these facilities so closing them still leaves them with significant revenue budget costs.

Plus "No dates have been given for the closures and affected staff are likely to be offered redeployment" which smells of something not well thought out - a big chunk of the cost of these premises is payroll so redeploying doesn't save money ... and then making people redundant is expensive too, as HC learned to its cost the last time it was "saving" money.

So I think this is a Labour led council just trying to embarrass the SNP/Green government into coughing up some more money.
