A plan to lift the cost of East Renfrewshire’s garden waste permit by £5 has been put forward after a £20 increase was branded an “unfair burden” on residents.
Conservative councillors called-in a decision by East Renfrewshire Council’s cabinet, which would have seen the charge rise from £40 to £60 per year.
Cllr Paul Edlin, Conservative, has now suggested increasing the fee to £45 and a review of the garden waste permit system.
