Council tax in East Lothian is set to go up by seven per cent from April as councillors try and plug a £17 million gap in next year's budget.
The increase, which is understood to be among the highest proposed by any local authority, will bring an extra £5million into the council for 2023 to 2024.
Councillors are also being asked to agree to introduce a £35 a year garden waste collection charge for homes and reduce household waste collections from fortnightly to every three weeks.
