Council tax levels will rise by six percent in Dumfries and Galloway from next month, it has been confirmed.
This will help generate around £4.8m for skint Dumfries and Galloway Council, which was facing a £12.9m budget deficit and a real challenge to maintain public services.
This six percent rise was part of a financial plan for 2023/24 put forward by the Conservatives Group, which was approved at Tuesday’s annual budget meeting.
