Council tax for West Dunbartonshire residents will rise by five per cent in a bid to help plug a budget shortfall of almost £15 million.
During last night’s full council meeting, a range of measures to help reduce a £14.7 million gap, which was brought down from £21 million in December, were approved by the majority of councillors.
Councillors voted through the option to co-locate Dalmuir Library within the nearby community centre as well as explore other co-location opportunities for smaller branches including Balloch, Parkhall, Duntocher and Faifley to generate an expected combined saving of £64,000.
