Opposition Angus councillors propose to halt the authority’s £4 million contribution to an Arbroath active travel scheme in alternative spending plans this week.
Councillors meet on Thursday to set the authority’s budget and the SNP group has said it cannot support the multi-million pound funding for the wider Sustrans scheme.
There remains continuing controversy around the ambitious scheme centred on the A92 running through Arbroath.
