Former first minister, Alex Salmond has said he can “see no reason” why the current Scottish Government cannot give local government the cash for a council tax freeze to help Scots deal with the current “cost of living crisis”.
The one-time SNP leader said even though the administration led by his successor, Nicola Surgeon had found additional funding for councils in next year’s budget, many local authorities were still likely to “implement inflation-busting council tax rises on hard-pressed families”.
