Council leader Owen O’Donnell has revealed East Renfrewshire faces a £30m budget black hole over the next three years and warned cuts and increased charges are expected.
The Labour group boss has launched a budget briefing for 2023 to 2026 ahead of public engagement on the council’s future spendings plans.
His stark announcement comes after the council has already made savings of more than £80m since 2015/16. Cllr O’Donnell pinned the blame on the long-term underfunding of councils.
