Renfrewshire Council "can't afford any more failure" as it stares at a funding gap of £45-50 million in the next three financial years, a councillor has said.
The cash crisis facing the local authority for the period from 2024 to 2027 was discussed by elected members at a key meeting last week.
It has been estimated a council tax increase of five per cent in each year would cut the shortfall to somewhere in the region of £30-35m, meaning savings of around £12m each year would be needed to balance the books.
