Edinburgh City Council has warned it needs a long-term plan to balance its books.

The authority has warned it had only managed to avoid a budget deficit by making £33m of cuts in February through one-off measures.

A report to councillors forecast £150m could be cut by 2023 unless a longer-term plan for its finances is put in place.
