South Lanarkshire councillors have capped the cost for the widely-used community alarm system.
Yesterday at the Executive Committee, plans to raise the weekly charge paid by community alarm users from £1.70 to £4.10 were proposed to councillors.
But the Labour group opposed the £2.40 weekly increase and Councillor Margaret Walker (Cambuslang West) proposed to raise it by 50 pence to £2.20.
