The cost of a garden waste permit in East Renfrewshire could now be set at £50 after concerns were raised over plans to introduce a £60 fee.
Residents who want their garden waste collected have paid £40 per year for the service, but an above inflation increase of £20 was agreed by the council’s cabinet earlier this year.
However Conservative councillors called that decision in, claiming the proposed rise would put an “unfair burden” on residents.
