Renfrewshire residents will see their council tax hiked by six per cent after the SNP administration’s budget passed.
The party’s £483 million spending plan was backed by independent councillor Andy Doig and Liberal Democrat councillor Anne Hannigan in a move which will see an annual charge of £40 for garden waste collection introduced.
The council tax change means the Band D charge – used as a general measure – will rise from £1,354.88 to £1,436.17 amid a challenging economic environment, which has been impacted by soaring costs and high inflation.
