Falkirk district could see a council tax rise of 4 per cent amid more than £5 million of cuts to services when councillors meet to set the district's budget next Wednesday.
With a £29 million budget deficit to bridge, councillors have been warned they are facing very difficult decisions.
And cuts could include scrapping the council's pest control service, cutting funding for school transport, reducing the budget for school cleaning, losing public toilets and ending the provision of free dog poo bags.
